Art Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I don't get much of a kick from most toned coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I refuse to come between husband & wife, so must opt for one side of the coin 'Bright, White, and Clean' and the other side 'Beautiful Natural Toning' as my choice. As there was not that option, I could not take part in the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there was not that option, I could not take part in the poll. I certainly can respect that I can assure you this is just for fun. We like to bet on little things that don't really matter.

Mark Stilson Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is one of those according to the coin deals. Also what is beautiful toning to some may not be to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Option 3: Old, natural patina and wear in VG or F condition. In other words, what looks circulated (and what I can afford!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is one of those according to the coin deals. Also what is beautiful toning to some may not be to others. Agree. I voted for toning but if I could have voted for white too. Some series are GORGEOUS in blast white and others are much better with a ring of green and gold. When I think of the silver series from the late 19th century (barbers, seateds, etc), I think they are excellent with tone. But I prefer my peace dollars and walkers in blast white. I'd be interested in a poll for each series! I'd bet you'd see some interesting responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Must have been stored in an unstained box or something: BTW if anyone has serious offers on it, it is out of my collecting realm since I am no longer a collector of numismatic treasures.

just carl Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Option 3: Old, natural patina and wear in VG or F condition. In other words, what looks circulated (and what I can afford!)... I couldn't vote for the same reason. Not enough choices. I basically don't like toned coins but a slight touch of toning isn't bad either. Bright white looks cleaned on many coins, nice but always suspicious. You should redo your poll using seveal other options. Such as noted above, slight toning, excessive toning, natural dirty looking, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdesk Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 This is one of those according to the coin deals. Also what is beautiful toning to some may not be to others. We have a 1878 Morgan that looks exactly like Mark's---the toning "ring" on the back. We just took it out of a Swank money clip that had a solid back. Is it just an odd coincidence that both his and ours are the same date and have the same ring? I wonder if they sold the clips with the coins already in them, but Swank, Inc. didn't start until 1897 so I don't know if that theory makes any sense. Anyway, I was glad to see this poll because my husband and I are having the same debate about cleaning this coin or not. I don't think the clip was ever used and thus the coin that was in it shows no wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 As mentioned, toning is subject to opinion, so I'll go with blast white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dockwalliper Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Option 3: Old, natural patina and wear in VG or F condition. In other words, what looks circulated (and what I can afford!)... I'm with Frank and Carl on this one. If I had to pick between white or toned I guess I'd go for white.

numismatic nut Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I went for white (but I have no problems with toned coins). Right now it is 15 to 15! The race is on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 You can say that again! At first it was a landslide in favor of toned, now it's neck and neck! I'm probably going to put up a more refined poll as was requested numerous times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo! Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Option 4: Very well circulated w/ surfaces rubbed smooth. Like the 15-20 nickels I've found since joining. Seriously, why are there so many silver nickels out there and nothing else! Or is it unusual that i find one (usually in the change jars that my teacher keeps money from selling candy bars to students) or two about every-other day?

Kristofer Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 the thing is if a coin is cleaned the overall value significantly drops I rather have a coin thats somwhat dirty, with bag marks then a cleaned coin Hey Alex, Welcome to CoinPeople. The First choice is absolutely not for a cleaned coin, but one whos condition has been maintained bright white since its minting. Hope this helps to clarify things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
