<p>[QUOTE="softmentor, post: 1449886, member: 10469"]I am by NO means knowledgeable about this but I do know that I have seen cents with finger prints showing where it was held once and the fingerprint was dark from toning. I suspect that most brown toning is initiated by the oils from people's hands.

I have no idea if that is the best way but it is a way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
