[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 688267, member: 112"]So would I. Now what about the guy who puts them in the same album, and then in the attic, because he knows the increased heat will speed up the toning ? Any way ya look at it Mark, I still say intent is the one and only distinguishing criteria. And as for what Sunnywood, or anybody else says about - Would you really epxect them to say anything different ? I mean these guys figured out long ago that you place coins in those old albums, store them in open areas with temp and humidity changes, and often get fantastic toning results in a very short time. Some of them used to brag about it. These guys are looked up to, admired, and thought of by many as "THE" authorities when it comes to toned coins. So of course they are going to claim that this is "natural toning". It allows them to obtain a great many coins, either for future sales, (of which there have been a great many) or for their own collections. All the while claiming the coins are naturally toned. People have to make their own decisions on this. The whole thing is similar to a philosphical issue IMO.[/QUOTE]
