Another show and tell coin...picked this up on eBay for $3...I probably should slab and sell this one.

That's really gorgeous! NGC would be your better bet, PCGS is a "Toner-Hater"!

One thing for sure Chris, when it comes to slabbing or selling anything good, I will give you a call

It's a great looking coin, but unfortunately I don't think you'll get any of the TPGs to slab it. This type of toning on proof coins is easy to do with the oven at 350 and the coin baking for a few minutes.

they may body bag it?

[Maineman750]

That's interesting jallengomez, I've never gotten that response from anyone. Let me say that the yellow is not on the coin,it only appears in a photograph. But I'd like to test your theory and have a couple of proof finds from rolls to test with.
I get the 350 degrees and a couple of minutes.Anything else in particular ? Lay it on a baking sheet or does it need to be covered ?

If anything touches one side that side will be altered in a different way!!!

When looking at toned coins, there are two states; natural toning (NT) and artificial toning (AT). I am not much on toning, but I would question whether your coin is NT or AT. The splotching of the toning would lead me to believe that it was AT and not NT. However, I maybe wrong.
