Based on your comments it seems as if you think you could have prevented your coins from toning. Is that correct ? If so, what exactly would you...
No, they won't. Only if a coin is over-dipped will NGC/PCGS put the coin in a problem slab (Genuine/Details) and mark it as having been harshly...

The one other thing you might have said Greg is that all coins begin to tone the moment they leave the coin press. And yes digitect, toning like...

Pretty coins :thumb:
Think things all the way through Chris. First of all the entire point of the inventor doing what he did was to provide an inert coin holder system...
Chris knows me well enough to know without a doubt that I would never, ever, call him a liar, or an idiot. The reason I dismiss his claim is...
Hugh Wood is the best way there is to go IMO. I had a $100,000 policy with them (coins at home in a safe) that used to cost me $200/yr.
