Toned Buffalo Nickels

[copper toning]

The color looks questionable to me.

 

No more questionable than any other rainbow toned buff posted in this thread. For the record, I consider all rainbow toned nickel as questionable.

 

That is a ridiculous statement. Not that it really surprises me though.

Well, you shouldn't

 

I have seen numerous beautifully toned rainbow examples in albums from old time collections. And I know I'm far from the only one.

Natural rainbow toning on UNC nickels is more common then most think in regards to later date Buffs and Jeffs... Nickel tones quite nicely.

I don't think I've seen as many sets in old time albums like Mark but I have seen a few (I can remember at least two times off hand). Again, the "tight" rainbow was something I saw there...it's usually a good sign.

 

I've also seen Buffs that came out of Dansco albums (maybe not as "old time" but still...) and they have that "Dansco" look (as I call it). I have a number of Kennedys that toned similar. This is also a good sign.

 

There are others I've seen slabbed though that I'm not so sure of....

The way buffs tone in many different ways is what I like about them. Pastels, golden, brown to mahogany, blues and rainbow seems to be the exception, no.

I fully expected the posters name to be homerunhall.
