<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 977752, member: 21782&quot;]I believe Thad addressed chlorides earlier, noting they affect the coin as soon as minted and his H2S process is a gas, not a liquid.&nbsp; Granted every coin will be exposed to a different set of elements over 30 years, so it would be impossible to exactly determine how a particular coin will look.&nbsp; But, the H2S gas should have the same affect as if exposed naturally.&nbsp; The coin should look great after 30 years if toned as desired and then properly sealed in an Air-Tite, much better than one left to chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like was mentioned earlier, if AT is done properly, it’s impossible to detect, so, how can there be a rule/law that prohibits that which cannot be detected?&nbsp; I’d also speculate that if artificial exposure to natural elements, in order to produce a near perfect aging of a coin and then encapsulation, is accepted, it could be construed as conservation.&nbsp; Might as well sit back and enjoy some awesome looking coins that appear/are natural.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand the concerns of those who have invested in naturally toned coins,&nbsp; But, advances in technology, while undermining values, give the consumer a better deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
