Generally when I see them they tend to be brown toning which I do not find in the least appealing. OTOH your NR is stunning MJ!

Lovely appearance. I like it.

 

What would cause the perfect circle of toning in the center of the obverse?

...What would cause the perfect circle of toning in the center of the obverse?

 

That is a hole in the paper/cardboard tab... hence the name for the type of toning. There is also an outer circular rim, and a linear piece that connects the outer circular part of the tab to the inner circle.

Hi Catbert

Here's a link to what the holders looked like

You're keeping me thirsty my friend.

[Catbert]

Thanks. I thought I knew what tab toning was, but I was mistaken. Very helpful!

Very nice coin MJ!

[MJ]

Believe it or not this coin is tab toned as well. I bought it from Larry Shephard. I had no idea until he told me to hold it at a 45 degree angle and to my surprise and delight it had the typical bullseye tab toning from the cardboard holder. I love these tab toners! MJ

Mighty Purty Oregon, MJ!!!

I absolutely adore tab toning! And I happen to like the New Rochelle commems as well, so that's a lethal combination for me.

 

Earlier this year, I cataloged the most beautiful New Rochelle that I have ever personally examined (and I like yours very much as well). It was sold here in a Scotsman auction ,though their images don't remotely do this coin justice.

 

It's an underrated commemorative design, in my opinion.

I saw a beautiful trio of Oregon Trail that were tab-toned and still with the card for sale a few years ago on a non-eBay site, but before I could hit the BIN, they were sold.

Here is a nice original gem Robinson with some light tab toning.
