<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 975190, member: 15309"]From what I have seen in this thread, the purpose of the product is to accelarate the toning process with the intent of hiding problems such as cleanings. Bob Campbell called this Type 1 artificial toning, the OP is calling it retoning. Type 2 AT involves creating eye appealing (ususally rainbow) toning in order to achieve a higher grade and a higher price. The OP has not made the claim that the product can achieve this and judging from the coin posted in this thread, I would say he isn't even close. As and avid collector of toned coins, I am not worried at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I do agree that a product like this is bad in every way with the exception of the profit gained by the manufacturer. I know people want to retone their problems coins but rather than assist them in that endeavor, I wish we could educate them so that they could avoid purchasing problem coins to begin with. I agree with those who think that the OP should not continue his work on this product for the good of the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
