<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 3244715, member: 6641"]Doug, So without reading 12 pages of responses my definition of AT is the intentional act adding a chemical or heat to an environment where a coin is stored to cause toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have 5 1968 proof sets for the last 10 years or so.

Is this a subtle method of artificially affecting the toning? I don't think so but that's just me and others are welcome to disagree. It will probably take another 10 years to get to the point I pull them out of their set holders and place into airtites to stabilize/stop the toning process. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]850200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]850201[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
