    Colorful, but it does not look like tab toning to me.

    Edit: This is classic tab toning:

    I've also re-edited as it is tab toned just look at the reverse at 6 and 12 O'Clock, the obverse was in contact with the back of the cardboard holder.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Not tab toned. I believe this is called 'Drop-of-drool-fell-onto-the-middle-of-my-coin-toned'

    Beautiful coins everyone! I have heard it mentioned before on Commems what is tab toning? And is it only to Commems? Sounds like the holder it was once in?

    Yes it's due to the sulfur content in the cardboard holders the commems where issued in.

    The coins toned due to storage in these original holders.

    Now i see your link "RYK" cool! And thanks for that info "Broadstruck" but i was looking at the link that RYK posted and in it is a spectacular Antietam and it says it`s "A simply gorgeous originally toned Antietam-but not tab-toned." So now i`m confused (a state that i`m in on more then one occasion)...lol So did that issue come in a different type of original holder? Or what is the deal on that particular coin?

    What ever "tab" toning is, all of these coins are beautiful. Would someone like to explain just what "tab" toning is??image

    Undoubtedly, most of the contributors and other readers to this thread appreciate naturally toned coins. Some very cool and appealing coins are pictured. Hopefully, some of you will read my three part series on collecting naturally toned coins, in which coin doctoring and dipping are discussed.
