The mint sells canvas bags. If I put in a ton on BU silver would they begin to tone like the bags of the past?

In order to reproduce battle creek type coins, the conditions need to be specific for toning, and coins need to be undisturbed for many years.
I have found power in the mysteries of thought.
It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.
Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

On contrary if a foreign substance was introduced IE dynamite ingredients, then these are indeed AT..
you may be surprised that decades can be reduced to much much less.
I have seen the results of such coins, from snakes, that try to con you into believing they are natural.
Lets face it AT gets slabbed all the time, if you know what your doing..
The article I read was for coin bags toning under natural conditions.
10 to 50 years..

I think the optimal place to store them for a short period of time would be somewhere in the Old Faithful Lodge in Yellowstone National Park!

Ricko, I'd have to say "no" on that one, because we all know that your kid has long held a devious plot to flood the market with toners, and therefore the egg thing would have to be considered as "no accident", which would sully the "intent" part of the equation and render any such toners as AT.
I knew it would happen.
What made certain coin albums, paper rolls, and old time envelopes good for toning, was actually a result of the processes used to make paper.
The making of cardboard, and paper back in the day, specifically the acids, and bleaching solutions that were used to reduce the wood pulp into paper.
Small amounts of sulfur was introduced as a preservative. The stronger acids used in the early going of the paper industry, left more of these reacting agents as a residue in the final product. Old paper, and cardboard did a great job toning coins.

of the following reasons.
1. The coins were 90% silver
2. The canvas bags were impregnated
with sulfur. Possibly to keep vermin away
3. For the most part, the bagged coins were
left unmolested for 100 years, in a rather stable
temperature and humidity environment.

Back when I was in college, I was charged with going through my Grandmother's old trunks after she had passed.
Many of the items dated back as far as the 1880s.
What I consistently noted was that thicker papers, cardstock and such and even cardboard had toned, as opposed to an aged parchment look with pulp writing paper. They did have onion paper back then and it remained pristine. Something to think about if you are considering a document you want to last for at least a century or more.
Most were in the blue to purple category with the occasional rainbow effect here and there.
I did find a few coins in the bottom, common circulated Barbers and Indian Cents, for the most part.
Few had any sort of toning and those that did were black.
