<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 975214, member: 26302&quot;]I have read some, and I agree that toning can be gorgeous, and good toning usually is indicative of original surfaces. I just would not want to pay for something that can be replicated in time. I know how to tone in a few years pretty well, (did it accidentally on 1986 ASE&#039;s when they came out), and I would assume fake toners would get better and better to the point that they would be indistinquishable from old toning someday. Just seems too risky.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I do pay a premium sometimes for hard green patina on ancient coins. There is no way I know of to reproduce this. If I ever saw a method that could produce this in a few years, I would stop paying more for those as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
