Artifical toning? Should I submit?

Once again thanks to John Carney's wonderful site! http://mysite.verizon.net/jcarney44/coins/mrcoin.html Thanks, Michael R AKA mrae7 on Ebay/Yahoo ANA #173222 Hard to say, the Obverse looks NT, and the Reverse looks AT........ Gary Looks like toned spot bullion silver to me. SAEs are bullion, nothing more, nothing less. I have a few "toned" Englehard 1oz silver bars from the 80s if somebody wants them for $1000 each. LOL I'll do you one better than that...$750 and it's yours. Michael R AKA mrae7 on Ebay/Yahoo ANA #173222 |

I can't imagine spending money to have that slabbed. Look at it this way - toning takes decades to develop, and that coin hasn't had the time. If it had had the time, it wouldn't tone like that. I'd say dip the mofo and add it to the stack of bullion as it was intended to be used. Thanks for the reply, not very useful though. Wouldn't want to dip many coins and esp. not this one AT or NT is a real beauty. Michael R AKA mrae7 on Ebay/Yahoo ANA #173222 |

Amistad wrote: wondered about it, so tossed out the query: Could anyone shed some light on whether or not I should submit this coin or is it Artifical Toning? You could surely classify me as an aficionado who enjoys toned coins in most cases. And what one man really likes and appreciates, another may treat with disdain. That SAE looks like it was baked in an oven with sulfur or something sprinkled on it. But if it turns you on, heck, it's your to enjoy! Amistad 'not something that I would slab' Me thinks you are correct. Michael R AKA mrae7 on Ebay/Yahoo ANA #173222 |

I'd say dip the mofo and add it to the stack of bullion as it was intended to be used. Actually, that toning can develop on a ASE in just two to four years. I was first introduced to the toned ASEs by my accountant, who had stored his in tissue paper, similar to kleenex. Here is one post that discussed this; http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...b10ac2b8f4309f Here is one coin that I sold on eBay, giving the full story of how the coin was toned, for over $100. http://showcase.netins.net/web/bills...ns/coinno1.JPG The OP could make his look like the coin in my image if he were to continue to store in kleenex for another year or two. I think. Anyway, I call the coins ITs for intentional toning as opposed to AT. But, whatever. 99.9% silver will tone quickly as as shown in this thread. Bill Ah, Bill...an informative, enlightening post. These coins CAN tone quickly, I have some in tissue and they toned in less than 2 years, but not like this. The 99.9% silver idea makes sense. This coin has dramatic toning! Just like another poster stated, like the oven toning I have seen. But this is not the case. The toning covers surface and devices and shows a few of the marks on the coin untoned. I got this a few years back at a show in Ft. Worth Tx from a dealer who said it was from a friend of his who stored it in uneven temps in the black Gov't issue velvet case. I don't really buy that because of the intense toning, maybe tissue or old Taco Bell wrappers were added to mix after all. :} 99.9% |

Perhaps next time you could clarify your request to include a specification that you only want opinions that match what you want to hear. I didn't really ask for "opinions" I asked if anyone knew if it was AT or NT, but your opinion was appreciated, even if part of it was wrong. :) |
