<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marine1, post: 2501753, member: 80257&quot;]I for one, love any toned coins NT of course. I bought my first coins in Hong Kong while being stationed there and didnt even know what a &quot;Toner&quot; was at least in the modern vernacular and at the present own more than 400 of them which is rather modest due to the fact I have been collecting for 55 Yrs. I have invested in spectrographic equipment to test a image of any coin or series of colors and tell you exactly within 5-6 a.units what the coin is made of, % of mix Au/cu, unnatural substance, depth of refractivity and if the color pattern being REFRACTED is NT/AT 90% of the time and if I could afford a Mass Spectrometer 99%.&nbsp; BUT BUT (always a but) IF the Chemist is good at developing the proper mixture AND uses electrolysis those odds drop to 50-60% depending on his/her skill.</p><p>I have put in many thousands of hours understanding this and love the coins but I think being as trained as I was love the thrill of the hunt (discovery)&nbsp; Now before I step down (off my soap box) I will state and bet my butt on the fact that. 70 to 90% of the Fugazys can be detected by the refracted color (machine) and at least 40-50% by eye alone if you know the color precedent pattern that I have posted.</p><p>Night all</p><p>M1[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
