<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 14320438, member: 112&quot;]I agree with part of what you&#039;re saying, but I disagree with other parts. For example, if someone places a liquid or powders on a coin to force it to tone, yes, it often does look like the colors have been painted on. But it looks that way because that&#039;s exactly what was done. Only it wasn&#039;t paint, it was concentrated chemicals.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I disagree with is when people use terminology like &quot;elevated chromatics&quot;. I disagree with it, or perhaps don&#039;t like it would be more accurate, because there&#039;s too many people who have no idea what that even means ! But in this context it&#039;s really pretty simple, all it really means is you have greatly accelerated the rate at which the colors change. So why not simply say that - then everybody would know what ya mean ! </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course there are also those who say that &quot;elevated chromatics&quot; also means that you have changed the order in which certain colors of toning appear on a coin. They choose to believe that colors will only and always appear in a certain given order. So if the colors you see on a coin are out of that specific order, then coin HAD TO HAVE BEEN artificially toned. Well to that I say - nonsense ! - because it simply isn&#039;t true !</p><p><br /></p><p>There are plenty of cases, plenty of examples, where coins that have completely natural, 100% natural, toning, where the colors do not appear in this supposedly given order. And that occurs for a very simple reason, and a very common reason. It&#039;s because storage methods, and or storage locations, for that particular coin changed ! </p><p><br /></p><p>If during the first part of a coin&#039;s life is spent in one location and using a particular storage method, then the colors of toning that appear on that are caused specifically because of those two things. Each location, each different town, each different part of the country, even each different home, has its own unique contaminants in the air. And those unique contaminants result in particular colors resulting on the coin. And different storage methods cause differences in the colors as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>But sell the coin, send it to somebody who lives in a different part of the country, and they use different storage methods than the previous owner, the toning that occurs then is going to be completely different, different colors, that what occurred at the first location. And in a completely different order of occurrence ! </p><p><br /></p><p>This is only natural, and what&#039;s more it is to be expected ! Because different causes result in different things happening when it comes to toning ! And to ad to that, the original colors of the toning that occurred at the first owner&#039;s home will also change - because toning is always progressive, it is always changing. So your &quot;elevation chromatics&quot; are going to change - it is a given and inevitable ! Which is why I say it is complete nonsense that toning colors are going to occur in a given order.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
