exceptional condition, but i'm wondering whether the toning enhances or detracts from this one? Is this a good "dip" canidate?

    to be honest, i'm surprised at the answers. I'm not a toner fan personally, but i thought the darker brown toning is considered ugly by most people. I guess not!

    thanks all

    I agree with the others, Doogy. I love the toning on it too.

    Looks good to me. Leave it. Original surfaces are better, IMHO, toned or not.

    leave it... if you don't like it, then sell and find one more suitable to your taste. Dipping a coin like this really should not be an option

    I liked toners, but that color does nothing for me... I wouldn't dip it, though. I like coinkat's idea

    I think it looks quite sensational as it is!! I've seen plenty of fugly-toned coins worthy of a dip, but this is NOT one of them. Please don't dip it.

    You would have to be insane to dip that coin.

    Sell it or trade it, don't dip it.

    I like original toning, blast white and multi-coloured coins are no go zones for me.

    Dip that coin and we are just going to have to kill you!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I think I bid on this coin a few months ago on ebay, but did want to buy the toning. Dont know for sure if its the same one, but either way its
    a very cool coin and wouldnt dip it. Its nice looking the way it is.
