Pulled these out of a bulk lot.
Exactly as looks, with no photo enhancements.
I would like to see other peoples coins with patina.

Its beautiful, it must have been in some plastic sleeve at one time.
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!

Looking for pre 1783 coins

Love the toning. Makes the coin look better.

Na, don't like artificial toning on coins. It's a bit like eating a bag of sugar because you like candy.

Some toned coins are looking beautifull, indeed. But keep in mind it is actually a kind of oxidation, what, in the long run ofcourse, will eat the whole coin.....

​ The coins I posted are not artificially toned. I agree.I dont like artificial toned coins either. If your buying them, and it isnt stated as such, I thinks its deceiving the buyer. Right up their with using "Spot Fix" on photo editing But some people dont care. And thats fine. The problem is when they sell them and dont tell you that.
Naturally toned coins are simply the most desirable to me.

​That very handsome 5 Mark coin looks familiar. Was that once in my hands John?
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.

​Glad your back Phil. Actually, I bought it for $15.00 from a local guy.
