Toning opinion!

BTW, I feel if toning cant be removed with acetone, then who cares how it toned! image

  • There is no toning forum, so dont complain about it being Canadian!

    Pretty and probably Natural.
  • This is the best one Ive gotten so far, the coin comes alive when tilted, the black turns to purple and blue! I have a bunch I will be submitting at Long Beach, eh!

    Totally Natural from the case they are housed in from the Canadian Mint.

    BTW Wallstreet you have changed your opinion on these. A little over a year ago you questioned these as being AT. A little knowledge helps, doesn't it.

    Atleast three people on the forums actively seek these coins. image

  • I have heard that these Canadian foam thingies often tone coins like this.

    If you like it, it's great. Doesn't do much for me. But if you like it, then that is all that matters.
  • Now, I like that toning, wallstreetman! That just looks outstanding to me.

  • Acetone is my friend...........Nice coin.

  • Im not so sure its the foam that does this, Im starting to think it may have something to do with the glue holding the felt. I think they may have used different glues on these, I find some cases have loose felt and the toning is a lot more drastic! I dont know if the coin got turned over, but very few have Obverses like this. It doesnt have the look of the sponge against it, so I dont think it did. When people see that sponge look, I think it makes them think the sponge caused the toning. I think the sponge prevents it from toning, causing that speckled look, it only tones where the sponge doesnt contact it!
