<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 8602759, member: 17261&quot;]100% agree! ME TOO! I bought a few of those from you over the years and found many myself. It takes a certain set storage conditions to produce <i>desirable</i> toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the best toners I&#039;ve found were under conditions where I suspect the coins were not stored completely air tight. I can attest to this with some of my inherited family coins where I <u>know</u> how they had been stored for decades. Just loose enough to allow a tiny bit of air to get in but not wide open. This catalyzes the reaction causing outgassing of materials (likely sulfur based) from the paper to become &quot;oxygen/moisture activated&quot;, released and sufficiently concentrated in the gaseous state to induce surface reaction on the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure you&#039;d agree, hitting the perfect conditions is a fairly rare event. Honestly, for me, it&#039;s probably about a 1-2% rate finding a truly nice toner roll.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
