<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 669499, member: 15309&quot;]The toning is simply a result of the chemical reaction between the surface of the coin and the chemical applied to the surface of the coin.&nbsp; The end product is the same silver sulfide that occurs naturally.&nbsp; However, NT coins obtain their toning by being in contact with a toning source (usually something with sulfur content) and the reaction takes place via air transfer.&nbsp; Once the coin is removed from the toning source and stored properly, the oxidation process slows to a rate that makes further toning undetectable.&nbsp; When a coin is subjected to a chemical on it&#039;s surface, the oxidation will continue to occur unless the chemical has been completely removed from the surface of the coin.&nbsp; What these people think is pretty, might not look the same next year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just in case anyone doubts this can happen, please take a look at the following photographs.&nbsp; The first is the sellers photo which is predominantly pink with blue highlights.&nbsp; Even though the photo is juiced, the coin was predominantly pink.&nbsp; The second photo is what the coin looks like now.&nbsp; The pink which is first in the progression is all but gone.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Franklin%20Half%20Dollars/FranklinHalfDollar1963ATbeforeandaf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really hope people are not paying this guy big premiums for his junk silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
