<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BR549, post: 1058706, member: 7110&quot;]Well, I really don&#039;t see the &quot;wild circus colors&quot; that you speak of, I do see a great deal of natural silver toning on a previously polished piece. The crude shapes of silver wear are stamped out of rolled metal, re-shaped, engraved, then polished to a brilliant shine. Our coinage is manufactured differently but oxidizes in the same manner, so I would expect to see some similarities in toning and I do.</p><p><br /></p><p>The accelerated Artificially Toned coins that I see being hawked as Natural Toning, would look way different on those spoons if the same process were used to enhance them, you could just tell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seen many a lightly toned coin in my day, where these heavily toned coins came from in the past 5 years really intrigues me. I can&#039;t explain it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
