This is the day the coin was dipped. [ATTACH=full]1416135[/ATTACH] This day 3 of sitting on a window sill. [ATTACH=full]1416136[/ATTACH] This is day 43 of sitting on a window sill. [ATTACH=full]1416137[/ATTACH] Now I don't know what was done to your coins before you put them on a window sill. And whatever it was that was done, makes a HUGE difference. And you can see that with the pics I posted above. What I did was this. I dipped the bottom half of the coin in a harsh dip for 1 second, then thoroughly rinsed it. Then, I used a pencil eraser on the right hand side of bottom half - leaving the left hand side of the bottom half alone. And of course the top half was left completely alone. But that's why we can see such radical differences, and how fast it happened, in how the toning progressed. And of course your local environmental conditions are going to male a difference too. The thing to really take from this is that toning can happen, and happen very, very quickly under certain conditions. A lot of folks think toning takes a long, long time to occur. But that is simply not the case at all ![/QUOTE]
