<p>[QUOTE=&quot;walterallen, post: 171225, member: 4068&quot;]This is a very interesting thought! I have seen ads for a chemical compound that has been designed with doing that very thing. Whether or not the experts can tell if this &quot;artifical toning&quot; has accured with this product is not known to me. But this does bring up the concept.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love toned coins and have some that are surely &quot;natural toned&quot; via the content that they were in when I purchased them. I love seeing the color in the coin (perferably BU). I also can understand why collectors are paying the premium that is now associated with purchasing them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Making coins toned almost over night might lesson the amount of demand for toned coins, yet if it is not detectable it would throw doubt on those coins that have been naturally toned, would it not?</p><p>My problem with this method of producing toned coins is that if I knew the coin had been atrificaly toned no matter how beautiful would I still treasure it as much as one I knew took decades to produce?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
