None of my ASE's tarnish....
- and I have them all... multiples... slabbed and raw. Cheers, RickO
I saw a not-reputable grading service MS 690℉ once.
There are a number of them. Just search the bay for "PCGS MS 69 silver eagle rainbow"
Lot's of history with that coin. Still remember this when it was briefly available on the bay!
hey Pat, was that coin toned when it was encapsulated??
It does mean they exist though. If there were a lot of MS 69s, it wouldn't be called a condition rarity
Here's one that looks pretty colorful:
It was.
That's an electric rainbow
Can anyone here honestly attest that they have actually witnessed natural toning occur like this on any of their ASE's? I just have not seen it. All I get are milk spots if anything.
ask coinsarefun.
is she even around anymore? I haven't seen her in a while.
I wonder the same thing. I've bought/sold a few really colorful pieces and they are spectacular in hand. However, I've always been skeptical about the process that made them so. To that end, I put a 2013 BU ASE in an envelope and laid it on my desk about 6 months ago. I can report that peripheral gold toning has begun to form around the rims. It's strictly a science experiment for my own amusement. In years will it develop a rainbow? Who knows. It's cheap and fun to see what will happen. I do not expect it to develop the wondrous colors we see on these others. I think those are the product of something else, though I don't know what that would be.
The ONLY ones I am sure about anymore are those that came out of the PCI holders. There are some out there that have toning ASE's down to a science. Buyer beware.
come on bolivar, those are toned in slab, some even say 100% white
I wouldn't want to step on anyone's toes about it. I've had ASE's stored numerous years in various environments and never to my recollection have I noticed extreme toning as shown in some of the photos here. Maybe a little brown near the rim at the most. If it did happen, I would be curious about the environment they were in. Could they have been in a fire?
Read my post again.
I love how the slab says "100% white" since i'm sure any grader would think that would have to be put on the label of an untoned coin.
PCI did this to indicate there was no spotting or coloration as the milk spots were prominent in the early years of the ASE.
I guess there is a slab for everyone, even David Duke.
Stefanie is still around
So several years ago my mom gave me a box of coins she had collected over the years, it contained a lot of mail in type coins. There was this velvet hinged box that had some silver plated junk medallion coins that had crazy toning so I thought what the heck I'll throw some coins in and what happens. I put 4 ASE' in there at first for about a year. three of them all toned the same (see pic below), the fourth just ugly brown splotches. I now have some Morgan's and peace dollars in there now and they are getting some color to them. I'm almost certain the toning is coming from the ink on the paper certificate that came with it rather than the card board holder or the velvet box. The Morgan's and peace dollars fit nicely in the card board insert the ASE' just slid around in the box. I keep it stored on a shelf in my utility room, temperature and humidity is fairly stable and I live in the mid west. All coins were blast white before going in.
And yes I know they are ugly, I'm just sharing to show these coins can and do tone rather quickly
