Toning

Hello everyone.I wonder if you could answer a question I have about toning on coins.I recently bought 2 proof sets (the last £.s.d 1970 and the 1st Decimal 1971) and on getting them home found some toning around the edges.Is this normal for proof coins and will it reduce any future value? I'm a beginner so please pardon my ignorance. :D

Yes, it is quite normal. In the plastic cases, the toning will be a rainbow colour. The value of the coins will not be devalued in most cases.

I find they sell better when they are completely untoned, so make sure you're fussy and specify untoned sets if you can.
