<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Amanda Varner, post: 1821238, member: 59002&quot;]Toning on a silver coin is not damage to its surface.&nbsp; It&#039;s a natural process that will happen over time as it interacts with oxygen no matter what you do, short of storing your silver coin in an absolutely airtight holder.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Many collectors prefer the bright white Morgans, but there is a massive market for toned coins as well.&nbsp; Toned coins are completely subjective, and just because you don&#039;t think the toning is attractive doesn&#039;t mean someone else won&#039;t!</p><p><br /></p><p>And as someone else mentioned above, dipping a coin does alter its surface.&nbsp; That&#039;s how it works: a mild acidic solution removes a tiny layer from the coin revealing what was underneath, but this will affect its luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, some collectors like toughCOINS would love to see toning on a coin even if they don&#039;t think it&#039;s particularly attractive, because it&#039;s proof that no one&#039;s messed with it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
