Popular Post physics-fan3.14 Posted June 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2022 How about... attractive toning. Be it light or heavy, it has to look good. ldhair, Hoghead515, AdamWL and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Neophyte Numismatist Posted June 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2022 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, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 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. Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 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, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 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...
