Too much controversy... not enough coins.
Don't dip 'em, post em.
Here's one I've never posted.

Let's see yours. AT, NT, whatever.

Here is one of the 'thickest' toned skinned coins I have.

Colors not fully captured... but its almost a crust...

dizzyfoxx · August 29, 2006 3:22AM

How about some blue end roll toning?

Tonedbuff · August 29, 2006 3:30AM

I'm having fun... so I'm gonna keep postin' em.
How about some real old style toning?

crito · August 29, 2006 3:33AM

Shake n' Bake (TM) toning (AT'd with a liquid actually, not heat).

Tonedbuff · August 29, 2006 3:35AM

Mmmmm pink coin.
My daughter would like that one.

I love the dark crescents... especially when you tilt them to the light and get those deeper flashes of color hiding in there.

SmallTownCoins · August 29, 2006 3:41AM

I know, I need a new camera.... Here is a GSA 81cc and a 83cc

here is a closer look at the 81cc

TwoKopeiki · August 29, 2006 3:42AM

Have no fear - darkside is here.

Tonedbuff · August 29, 2006 3:44AM

Other non US...

real purdy green... resides in an ANAC's holder now.

crito · August 29, 2006 3:49AM

Happened totally accidentally, so if intent matters must be NT.

I accidentally picked up a really old jar of EZ-est I forgot about instead of a new jar I had just bought. Best guess is silver particles that settled on bottom plated coin through some kind of natural galvanic reaction (coin is copper-nickel). Rinsed with water and set it on a sunny window sill and 5 minutes later looked like that.

I immediately rinsed with acetone and it hasn't changed since (happened several years ago now).

Anyway, I'm not a lawyer, just a coin collector. And by my definition this coin is AT regardless of whether the intent was benevolent or malicious.

Hey, looks cool either way. Orange and pink are unique colors certainly.

Tonedbuff · August 29, 2006 4:00AM

cladiator... does that look at black in the hand as pic shows, or are there subtle colors in there?

Tonedbuff · August 29, 2006 4:03AM

Bad pic, but how bout a merc?

Thanks. I sold the merc some time ago

Purchased it raw off ebay for about $40

The pakistan coin sat in a little plastic case on foam rubber for 20 years or so.

Tonedbuff · August 29, 2006 4:30AM

crito · August 29, 2006 4:31AM

Black and grey toned.

p8nt · August 29, 2006 4:31AM

Hmm.. I don't know what dates are tough and what aren't but I'll go check it now that you mention it... It's in my rainbow Roosevelt set... be right back....

I know what it takes to get a FB at PCGS and it certainly is FB. Its a no-brainer FB coin.

So tell me what's a coin like that worth? I snagged it on Ebay in an original roll because I liked the toning.

Tonedbuff · August 29, 2006 4:32AM

Tonedbuff,

You should have seen this buffalo nickel I sold on Ebay about a year ago. It had perfect concentric rainbow toning and was very pretty! I wish I still had the picture to show you.

pharmer · August 29, 2006 4:38AM

What to do??? Post a purdy toner, that's what!
