<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1538987, member: 26302&quot;]AT-NT is a continuum. Problem is, intent is involved in a lot of it, as in if you put them in a dansco with the INTENT they will tone is that AT or NT? If you didn&#039;t plan on them toning, but do the same thing, does it change the answer?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your original question OP, don&#039;t do anything &quot;artificial&quot; and your coins will tone. Never use chemicals or severe conditions. Those are the things bad tone fakers use. Toning is a normal reaction, and most things labeled NT are slow reactions, while most AT is a fast reaction. That is as much help as I will give.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, can I ask WHY? Once a pristine coin is toned, something is lost. The original microscopic layer will never be the same. My goal in coin collecting is to try to leave the coin the same as I found it. I would highly suggest you do the same. Even trying to NT a coin is changing it, some would say damaging it. Why not just keep the coins you have in the condition you were able to buy them in? If everyone had always thought this way, we would have many more nice coins today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
