Question asked twice today- never answered!!

ksteelheader

I know NOTHING about toning! But I asked 2 times today in different threads about toning and nobody would give an answer. This might offend some, but so be it. If you have a coin in a certian type of holder or stored a certian way for 20 years and it tones, what is the difference to a coin that is toned in, say 20 minutes by someone who knows how to do it? I have heard people say that AT covers up flaws that will make a coin be worth more money or will grade higher. I CAN see the reasoning behind that explanation. But can't a coin that has toned over 20 years do the same thing.
I would like to see some answers, if anyone has the time to do so. I may respond back with more questions as some things get answers, as the answers may generate more questions. Thanks in advance, Ken

The question has been asked ad-nauseaum, and unless it's Friday night and people are bored and restless it's not an allowed topic on this board...

Just do a search on "toning" and we'll talk afterward

DHeath Thanks! I started to read it, but, the race just restarted. I'll have to finish later. Again, Thanks. Ken

Yea, I just realized that! My man, Ward Burton, got wrecked out anyway. On to Rockingham. Ken

You can also go to my web site and read the three articles I have written about toning and imaging of coins. Good luck.

By the way, the short answer to your question about toning over 20 years vs toning over 20 minutes is that they do not have the same characteristics. The difference is in the chemistry, physics and optics.

Thank you, Tomb. Now I have 2 articles to read. I'll do the reading tomorrow. Won't be going to work with 2 feet of fluffy white stuff. Thanks, Ken

It's the same difference between a virgin and a woman that's been surgically re-virginized. One's original, one's not even though they might look the same.

Which one do you want?
