[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2948158, member: 26302"]Worn down is a HUGE giveaway. Great point. If this were a BU coin, I would say maybe its not market acceptable, but it would be possible for it to be natural. I have seen some really weird toning coming out of old albums that were stored in very humid environments. However, those coins were fully BU, one sided toning (because in albums), etc. The first thing I look for when looking at a toned coins is condition. Worn coins simply cannot tone colorfully usually unless "helped". Only pristine surface coins will tone in ways collectors find attractive.
