<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3236693, member: 71723&quot;]I am NOT talking about the color of each point on the coin changing, that’s seldom, but it does happen. I’m talking about a steady DARKENING, and that’s what I object to. It’s not so much a chroma issue; it’s a “luminance” issue, I think they call in in the digital world. In traditional photography, it’s what we called “density”. They keep getting DARKER, headed to black. My few Morgans (VERY FEW) are among the most stable, which I have chalked up to a unique chemical soup of Gawd knows what in those bags in vaults. My main complaint is minor coins, PARTICULARLY cents and nickels, but some dimes too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I own only one toned half, a lowly ‘64, which I sent in to prove toning adds grade points. It’s a 63 in any sane world. Hits all over it. It came back 65 because it has butt-ugly toning all over it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
