<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 171272, member: 3011"]All toning is just basic chemistry in action. Theoretically, it shouldn't matter whether it is deliberately controlled or accidental. Personally, I like the look of natural grey toning on older silver coins; but I'm not sure whether this toning is "better" or "worse" than more colorful toning. There are a lot of areas in numismatics where judgments that affect value are subjective. But it seems almost certain that the more available "beautifully" toned coins become, the less they will be worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
