<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3571681, member: 101855&quot;]Many years ago, when I was buying coins from Gimbels Department Store, they had a system where their coins were in two envelopes. The inner one contained the coin and went with the customer. The outer one was bigger and was sent back to headquarters to maintain the centralized inventory system. It would be re-filled with another coin in the same grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>The inner envelopes were white and were made of plain paper. I found that if I kept a coin in them that it would tone often to a decent color. I never got the “rainbow” results that people want so much, but the coins toned down to a natural look. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can talk about ethics all you want, but if the toning is attractive and can’t be detected by experts, what it the problem? I was not covering up cleaning hairlines or that some of thing. It was only a restoration process that made a circulated coin more pleasing to the eye, and it usually took a few to several years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
