Question About Toning

harveypb · December 24, 2014 11:25PM

I pulled this 1955 proof cent from a proof set that was housed in an old Wayte Raymond black
cardboard holder. Is the toning nice and acceptable or is the cent ruined??
The obverse is about half gray over red and the reverse has patches of blue over red.

TIA

I think most will not like it. It is what it is but I think most people would only be willing to
buy at a discounted price.

Speaking for myself, I do not care for it.

I don't think that most collectors will like it. Unfortunately the area behind Lincoln's head appears to have environmental damage.

Somebody will like it, but most will not.

All tarnish is environmental damage... this is just a bit worse than many....Cheers, RickO

Copper is a tough animal out of a certification holder, too much going on with those surfaces.

When it starts to have growth like around the hair, I call it environmental damage not toning.

I think it's not going to be very wanted by most collectors.

I would not be a buyer for this cent, just doesn't cut it for pretty.
