It's kinda like an aggravating Christmas when I work the can! Sometimes just fun and sometimes not so much... This time it was just easy and fun with this great looking toned coin!
Thanks Viv!! It was just kind of cool to pull this from the can and be nothing better than a pretty coin!! No thought process required other than trying to get some decent pics. I agree the reverse is better all the way around, condition, strike and definitely the toning!

Thanks Jon have hundreds (100's) some where in this house.
Very cool!! Sounds like your filing system is similar to mine!
Sounds like my system too. At least I've 'evolved' to putting 2x2 flips in trays --like 50's, 60's, so on---separated by index cards within the decade, for each year. The trays have filled up rapidly. Need another system. I think I like the old PDS system, with plastic album pages where you can put the flips in. I guess it's because I used to collect stamps, and I like to look at what I collect, go over them like a picture album.
(am spending time now looking over old posts, and as many posts here on LCF as possible, to learn as much as possible, gather information and ideas, and avoid posing the same question which may have been previously answered)
I think we need to differentiate between toning and staining here. I do not believe this coin to be toned at all, but because of the introduction of a liquid, it is stained these beautiful colors. We can get into semantics here but toning on coins is generally from air or being in contact with papers or materials made with chemicals that can affect the coins surface. Staining is generally from liquids, and my personal take is that this coin suffered from that.

I agree with you Bob. Sometimes even washing a coin in dishsoap can produce nice colors like that; or maybe the washing removes the film that's on it to reveal the colors.
Either way, makecents' coin there is like a beautiful painting. I love it.
