Popular Post physics-fan3.14 Posted June 4 Popular Post Share Posted June 4 How about... attractive toning. Be it light or heavy, it has to look good. Hoghead515, ldhair, AdamWL and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Neophyte Numismatist Posted June 4 Popular Post Share Posted June 4 I agree with @physics-fan3.14, it has to be attractive. I know that's the most subjective part. I define "attractive" as toning that is 1) original and 2) compliments the design elements. I like dark and lightly toned coins. I do not like the latest trend of people paying 3x for toned coins.

Hoghead515 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I like light golden toning. I like ones with even rim toning. Golden toning a little darker at the rim and gets lighter as you get closer to the center. Not real big on monster rainbow toners. Also like kobalt blue nickels. Alex in PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex in PA. Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 That is a very nice 50 C piece. Just the right amount for a coin that old. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcesKings Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 It depends on the type of coin for me, older coins that SHOULD have toning, the deeper the better, more modern coins I prefer none at all. I know alot of people would consider this one too dark, but for me its perfect...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
