Dansco toning

This Eagle came out of a Dansco album. If my intention was to tone, then it's AT.
If I had not intended to create the ring toning, then it would be NT.
Well my intention is to further the toning, so I guess it's an AT coin.
I'm keeping the coin, took a while to tone.

If it were an 1830s bust dime with old album toning no one would have a problem with it. I think only because it's a newer coin some people might pause.

6 years is not a long time when talking about toning.

NT
<< <i>If you placed it in an album it is NT regardless of your intention. >>
I agree with this. You took something designed for the coins and used it. Regardless of the toning, I will put it NT.
Now, if you had put the coins in the dansco and placed that in the oven at 450 degrees F, and sprinkled some sulfur on it before doing so.....well, then that is more AT
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Me too, couldn't think of a better word.
Bake in an oven, are you serious??
A couple of my 2001 ASE's have that same dark red toning, and they've been in those plastic Littleton holders since I bought them in '01.
I say NT all the way, since mine are also and look extreemly similar.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
NT vs AT? Depends on how you define AT. Personally, I consider an at coin to have accelerated toning applied to it with the motive of profit through deception.
You are not trying to deceive anybody, nothing was added to accelerate the process, nor is there any intent for profit. Collectors have accepted mint bag, roll and album toning as natural occurrences resulting from accepted storage or display methods and consider them NT. I consider your coin NT, and would love to see how it turns out in 10 years or so as the toning progresses. JMHO.
Yesterday I took a trip to a local coin shop. Pulled this off of the bid/buy board for 25 bucks. By no means is this a "great toner", it is , however, interesting. The coin was in the OGP. I removed it for the photos and replaced it after the photos. I'll be interesting to see what it looks like in another 10 years. The obverse is clear and, for the most part, colorless. It does have something going on in the fields - has the coin been out of the holder (before I removed it for these shots) and mucked with? Don't know. The reverse is milky/hazy with toning starting to develop after 30 years. As I said, not a a showcase coin, but interesting none-the-less. (Gee, I must be running out of stuff to post!!??).
Most people would look at this coin and see only the top two photos. I immediately saw the bottom photo and bought the coin. My feeling is that this is NT - the guys who use the bid board at the local shop HATE toned coins. It is unlikely that this was done intentionally. Much more likely that it simply happened over the thirty year period. It'll never be a great looker, but I like it as an example of what can happen in OGP over time.

60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
So your not into ring toning?
Adds to the coin, no?
