<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 35856, member: 112&quot;]Well it&#039;s not just the sun alone, but it can create some, IMO, some rather ugly toning. It depends on many things - what is the coin sitting on while in the sun ? It depends on the air quality in the area you live as well as inside your home. Coins can also be affected by what kind of heat you have, gas, electric or wood/coal stoves. </p><p><br /></p><p>All of these things combined together with the heat from the sun is what produces the toning and determines how it will look. Sometimes toning can be gorgeous - sometimes very ugly. </p><p><br /></p><p>So with a coin like you describe - I can understand you trying to make it look better. But your not doing yourself any favors really. For anyone with experience will look at the coin and still see it for what it is - a harshly cleaned coin that was retoned. But if that suits you - great.</p><p><br /></p><p>A slabbed coin left the sun can do all sorts of things. I have seen slabs left in cars actually melt. Others when it&#039;s not so hot just turn all foggy and you can&#039;t see through them. The coins don&#039;t endure this very well either. And it could be a very costly mistake if the coin is valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
