Increasing the concentration of the gasses might speed up the process but with high levels of concentrated H2S, you wont be able to achieve a rainbow pattern, just monochromatic toning that covers the entire area of the exposed coin. Are you saying that all you need to do in order to recreate the look of a "bag toned" Morgan Dollar through artificial toning is simply increase the level of H2S that the coin is exposed to?[/QUOTE]
