The villain is humidity, and if you have mint red copper coins stored in Hawaii or Florida, for example, there&#039;s a good chance that the environmental factors can alter the color of the coins. This is obviously beyond our control so consequently we will not be guaranteeing the color of cooper coins graded or sold after January 1, 2010.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Now we all know that copper coins are not the only coins that will tone over time.&nbsp; As a matter of fact I have read that it’s well known that all barber coins out there are either toned or have been dipped!&nbsp; Im concerned that in the future PCGS may change its views on how they handle silver coins as well.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Curios to know your guys take on this...</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
