<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2117603, member: 71723"]Firstly, I don't care for Morgan's at all, so why would I have them to tone or dip in the first place? Most of my dips are MS dimes, quarters, and a few halves. Also proofs of all types. Bronze cents are fun to monkey with, but the tones I get aren't very repeatable. I have seen, but not yet tried testing, wildly colored Sacs and Prez's, and a few of them were in PCGS plastic. The closest interesting tone I have on one of them I own is one of the January 2000 WalMart change given Sacs which is going an interesting green bronze color in a Saflip. The luster shines through the color on the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your tirade, I understand and sympathize. If I had built a specialty that some people started taking potshots at, which IS WHAT I'M DOING, it'd tick me off too. I am aware how fervently toned coins enthusiasts feel about their niche. Be aware I am somewhat of an expert in chemicals that affect silver, through over 25 years as a Certified Photographic Counselor and 20 as a member of the Society of Photofinishing Engineers. Making silver change colors is a subject that covers VOLUMES of photographic texts. Trust me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
