<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2385441, member: 1892&quot;]All truth. When it&#039;s &quot;damaged,&quot; your only recourse is to &quot;damage&quot; it further. The idea of &quot;retoning&quot; is a completely different animal, though - the more a coin circulates, the less likely it is to tone at all. In many cases, what we see as &quot;toning&quot; could well be just dirt/grime/shaved metal picked up from other coins in the pocket or purse of the carrier. Consider (as a function of time involved) just how little even well-circulated coins are physically handled, compared to how long they sit wherever they are at the time. Even if someone spends a coin and the merchant then immediately gives that coin back out in change, how many times in a given day does that happen, compared to how long that coin sits (or jingles around with others) awaiting use?</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why &quot;pocket pieces&quot; are such an effective way of returning a coin to &quot;originality.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
