<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 2118370, member: 54140&quot;]The original cleaning is superb and I would be happy to have such a coin in my collection. Accelerated toning is an interesting concept and I feel that it could be very hit or miss. </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I am not a fan of how the toning turned out. While pretty on the eyes I prefer toning, if there is some, on the fields or as a highlight around the figure, inscription, or bust but not on the bust itself. That is just a personal preference. I am curious if you would be able to target specific areas for toning, such as the fields around the bust, by placing a non-reactive cloth over the bust.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you ruined the coin? I wouldn&#039;t think so because as you said the toning can be easily removed. Would removing the toning turn it blast white though? Part of the appeal of the original cleaning was that the coin came out of the cleaning with that older, slightly darker, silver look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
