<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2671434, member: 1892&quot;]Maybe so; as you mentioned these manifest luster oddly sometimes. In my book, there isn&#039;t enough contrast between devices and fields on<i> either </i>to make me comfortable feeling the surfaces are original, and I fall back onto the two-stage toning. Having toned to the point where some part of the surfaces are black, the coin <b>isn&#039;t</b> going to be able to show that early-stage yellow/brown again unless the surfaces are stripped first. Even if the &quot;original&quot; surface doesn&#039;t tone that darkly, it&#039;ll acquire patina of some sort.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
