<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 689220, member: 6370&quot;]I should clarify that those were the only type of toning I was referring to...the brightly colored coins almost devoid of the dark toning that I have noticed seem to go hand and hand on the coins I have seen that tone over long periods of time and develop color. I see these coins for sale in large amounts. I have seen silver coins develop a dark tone (not rainbow) in under a year of carrying the coin in my pocket, holding it in my hand here and there. Heck, I decided to carry a presidential dollar in my pocket and in hand to see the affect I would get and it took less than 3 weeks for it to tarnish to a dull brassy shade. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought a lovely silver coin from Iceland (the one with the cow and the maiden). It was reflective as a mirror but it had little mars and the mirrored surface just amplified the flaws so I decided to make it my pocket coin. I am hoping by next year it will have a nice tone to it from my 100+ degree Houston sweaty hands, we&#039;ll see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
