There's two areas where toned coins exist in a much higher ratio due to the coins being older, stored and distributed a certain way, and kept in relatively high grades. Early commemorative silver half dollars and pattern coins. They were stored and shipped in tissue paper and many kept in velvet lined coin cabinets. So in order for these coins to remain original today, they had to be toned and left alone to remain like they are.
