If toning had progressed substantially during that ten-year interval, surely there would be <i>some</i> point on the coin where you could point and say &quot;that was white, but now it&#039;s gold&quot;, or &quot;that was magenta, but now it&#039;s cyan&quot;. I&#039;m not seeing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>For any of the coins that <i>you&#039;ve</i> seen turn, are you saying that a pair of photos like this would make the difference indiscernible? If so, what makes you think that <i>your memory</i> is more trustworthy than a pair of well-lit and well-exposed images, even if they aren&#039;t <i>identically</i> lit and exposed?</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t seen your coins in-hand, and I haven&#039;t seen [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER]&#039;s coins in-hand, and I probably don&#039;t have enough of an eye for toning to remember their details if I had seen them. But I <i>do</i> know something about visual perception and memory. I think [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER]&#039;s photos make his case decisively.</p><p><br /></p><p>If your coins are turning faster and more obviously, maybe we should be looking to compare environmental factors. You&#039;ve talked about living in a rural setting before your recent move. Did you use A/C in summers? How did you heat? How close were the neighbor&#039;s pastures? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
