<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 497031, member: 112&quot;]Well, that would probably do it alright. But when I made that comment it wasn&#039;t anything like that that I had in mind. I was talking about natural toning occurring in a matter of weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>But for natural toning to occur quickly, the conditons have to be perfect. There has to be just the right amount of humidity, the right temperature, the right amount of pollutants in the air etc etc etc. Could I tell you what all of these things are ? No, I can only say I have seen it happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>As as has been stated, toning can absolutely cover up hairlines, contact marks, staining and other things. Cover up may not be the right phrase, simply put it makes it so you can&#039;t always see it. That is one of the warnings always expressed when you talk to anyone who is knowledgeable about dipping coins. Dip a coin and you may end up with a gem - or may end up with a piece of crap.</p><p><br /></p><p>And this is the problem with sending some coins to NCS. They can&#039;t always tell you what the outcome will be. Sometimes they can say what it will likely be, but not always. Whether you send a coin to a professional to have it conserved or you dip it yourself - it is a gamble, every single time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to the question - what can you do about it ? There are basically 3 answers. The first answer you have already been given, place it in an album or paper envelope and wait. How long you wait is variable. It might only take a few months, it might take 20 years. It all depends on the specific conditions of where you have the coin stored.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second answer is that you learn from your mistake, sell the coin and take your loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third answer - I will not say what that one is for it entails doing something which I do not think is right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
