[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3599956, member: 99642"]I'm with Thomas. I wouldn't even call that toning. Looks more like environmental damage. Do you see that sharp curved line? You would never see that with natural toning. You [I]might[/I] see that with artificial toning, but really, only if the nimrod doing the fake toning didn't know what he was doing. Remember as a kid in school when you took two pages of colored construction paper, cut out a design on one, and laid the design in the center of the other page, then put the whole thing in the window under the sun for a few hours, and when you took the top piece off, you had the outline of the design? That is what Thomas is talking about. Something caused that line, but it wasn't natural toning. If that coin has been sitting somewhere with something else partially across it, for many years, undisturbed, then it could be natural toning. Time tones naturally, Man does not.[/QUOTE]
