Ok, pics aren't great, I apologize, but from this small (literally) sample, would you venture to guess this coin is naturally toned, or artificially? What causes toning such as this, from your experience, if it is natural? Hopefully the pics reveal enough for those that have experience with Mercs that have toned this way.

    From your images; NT all the way! image

    Looks to have toned from a older Whitman album, they usually tone smaller coins blue on the rims with yellow towards the center.

    NT. Not sure many people would do that on purpose or even by accident. Looks like a dirty dime that sat in a holder for a long long time.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:
