Toning

jhuberdude

Is there a way to promote toning? I have heard about artificial toning, but what conditions are required to get a coin to tone naturaly?
Or do you just stick in a box for about 75 years?

Dansco,Library of Coins,and Wayte(sp?) something albums are really good for toning.I have this exact same state quarter map:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2224001180&category=521 and the coins in it tone beutifully in no time at all,I put some old quarters in there alot.

I had some SAE's tone very nicely over a period of about 5 or 6 years. I just left them in their original plastic holders with the tops
off in a cabinet. They were graded recently by PCGS.

Edited to mention that only the exposed sides toned for me.

cardboard promotes toneing because of the sulphur content.
many, if not most, coin albums contain cardboard.

I put some State quarters in side my wood dresser drawer a few months ago and they are all turned gold.

Those little plastic snap case holders with cardbord inserts will sometimes cause silver eagles to tone. One person in the registry has a whole set he put together this way. All passed at PCGS for natural toning.....I've got some toning in these now.

The best way to promote toning is to feature your auction. It costs $19.95 extra but will get your toned coin seen by more potential buyers. Outside of that, I can't think of too many ways to promote toning.

After seeing some of "tonecoins"handywork I thought I'd try to tone some of my pocket change.
At work I have access to an industrial cutting torch.After burning some holes in some quarters my co-workers suggested cooking them in an oven.Took a handful of pocket change and cooked it @ 450 for 1 and a half hrs.They all turned colors but all were obviously AT.This is one of them.Has a decent golden color on front and an odd bluish gold on back.Other than that I'd just put'em in an album.
