The toning was removed. That&#039;s because the toning was actually being caused by an oil or some other substance. </p><p>If the toning is actually on the surface of the coin itself, it will not be removed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, &quot;dipping&quot; a coin will immediately remove real toning. Dipping is not done in acetone and actually removes surface layers from the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
