<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 176876, member: 112&quot;]Toning begins from the moment the coin is struck - after that it is just a matter of degree, in other words how much it tones and how fast. And as I said that is entirely dependant upon environmental conditions. Under the right set of circumstances, very visible toning can occur in days.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also the very real possibility of the toning being the result of something done by the mint. For example, when the planchets are washed if they are not thoroughly rinsed there may be residue left on the planchet. This can and will cause toning. Or if the mint is again experimenting with the washing process they use, that could be it too. </p><p><br /></p><p>It could be any of the above. But since there have as yet been no other reports similar to yours, I am inclined to think it is most likely the first scenario.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
