<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1600750, member: 37839"]Man, once again you are so negative about toned coins. I reiterate, if you don't like them, don't weigh in so heavily against them. Not all toned coins are AT, and not all sellers of same are coin doctors. Those of us who love toned coins tend to be able to tell the difference, and it isn't as black and white as you describe. A little knowledge is, indeed, a dangerous thing. If coins are stored in a humid climate, they can tone very quickly, as Paul said previously about Dansco album coins. I have the complete set of Kennedys and the compete set of Eisenhowers in Dansco albums. They were bought in the past 6 months or so as BU Gem coins and they're already beginning to tone in the humid climate that is Florida--this is nothing intentional on my part, and certainly a natural process. If the air conditioning is off, considerable humidity makes it into my condominium (I turn it off in the Winter, and let fresh air in). Since I am on the Intracoastal Waterway, and two blocks from the beach, there is lots of natural humidity in the air. Hence, naturally toned coins--it would be like leaving the silverware out after having a dinner party, and it would discolor due to humidity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
