<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 2119408, member: 44316"]I love toning that appears "natural" or "old cabinet," but not rainbow toning on ancients, which seems an artifact of modern storage or chemistry. If I had TIF's Gordian III radiate coin I would take it and rub (yes, rub, with fingers) the rainbow parts of the toning and I bet they would come off easily. I'll bet they are micro-thin. The gray part of the toning is, to me, nice, but the blue and purple scream "modern fiddling".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
