Both toned and untoned coins have their attractions, though the attraction of a beautifully toned coin is undeniable. A beautifully toned coin is a coin that has aged well. The magnificent aging of silver, in particular, is analogous to the magnificent aging of deciduous leaves every year, in the right climates, before they turn brown, the brilliant yellows and reds of the fall 's foliage.
This doesn 't always happen with either leaves or silver. You need the right environment. When it does happen, it pleases the eye. Color is simply more appealing than gray. The appreciation of toning is often a sensibility that comes with time, similar to appreciating the relatively small differences in uncirculated grades, say between a 64 and a When you first start out, a coin with toning looks old or unnatural.
Then you begin to appreciate the sometimes marvelous ways that time can paint a beautiful picture on coins. Toning is just the numismatic way of saying tarnish. Ironically, like rust on iron, toning on silver and bronze is a form of corrosion. What happens with silver and bronze is similar to what happens with iron, only it 's a slower process with bronze and an even slower process with silver.
Like rust, the toning on coins gets thicker over time. Eventually bronze and silver coins, over perhaps hundreds of thousands of years depending on the chemical makeup of their environment, will transform into percent of the reactive products, as the toning becomes thicker and thicker until it becomes the entire coin. The chemical reactions won 't stop here, as entropic forces cause the material to become more and more random and disordered until it 's returned to the Earth.
Dust to dust. Not all toning is beautiful. With some coins toning can indeed be brilliantly and spectacularly colorful. But I think things have changed over the years.
I don't like the heavily toned coins with dark color, or bright colors. A little toning is nice on some coins. I don't find heavily toned coins attractive. I also don't understand coins that look crusty from toning, but graded high.
Why wouldn't toning be considered environmental damage? Especially the toned coins that look like they have been at the bottom of the ocean and have some kind of appearance that look's like crust. I avoid toned coins. I am not a fan of toned coins. Mostly tones that you would find in a matte coin a lite blue or light gold. A lite Hue. Artificial don't even mention it.
