A tribute to album toning!

[jtryka]

Ok, so maybe I am a closet toning fan, but here is a thread to share your naturally toned gems from your favorite album. I have a few, but I noticed in my Danscos, the best toning comes from the outside pages (first or last). This little gem was from a BU set of Roosies I bought about 10 years ago, they all started out white and most still are, but they put the 1965-67 SMS coins along with this 1981-S Type 2 proof (don't ask, I can't tell the difference) in the back page at the bottom, and that's where it's remained for the last decade. Despite it being base metal, the coin is developing the most wonderful blue and purple toning, particularly on the obverse, and these photos just cannot capture it. So post your favorite album toned gems!

Thats a pretty Roosie! Gotta love the Dansco for that.

 

Much nicer than say, a neon green, ugly toned one.

Hello, Jeffrey. Thanks for sharing. (thumbs u

 

This is a proof Liberty nickel that I had conserved by NCS hoping for an UC grade. That didn't happen so I had cracked it out and placed it in my Dansco 7070 type album where it remained for 3 or 4 years. During that time, it took on the very sweet appearance to the obverse as seen below.

I would expect that the coins on the first and last sheets of an album as well as those coins on an outer edge of a page would tone the fastest and deepest due to increased air flow. Nice dime, by the way.
