[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3246228, member: 112"]Here's the problem. Even with known natural toning, all of the above things do not always happen. Sure, they may happen, they may even happen often. But they do not always happen. Colors can jump, in other words sometimes a certain color in the spectrum is skipped, sometimes even 2 or more colors are skipped. The color transitions are not always smooth. The color is never bonded to the surface, the color is not something that just sits on the surface of the coin. The physical structure of the metal itself is changed, that is what causes the color. What I am saying is this - color not "on" the metal, it is "within" the metal. And color does not always wrap the devices in the same way. Sometimes it can jump completely over certain devices. Sometime it shows what people call the pull away effect and sometimes it doesn't. What I'm trying to get across here is that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to natural toning. And anybody who thinks there is - well they are only fooling themselves.[/QUOTE]
