<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 2212840, member: 60292&quot;]Well environmental damage/toning doesn&#039;t have to be a result of being outdoors or outside of a vault. Air molecules and chemicals in air still reach and interact with the surface of a coin. Therefore in my view I don&#039;t see a distinction between how or where it was toned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Artifical toning from my perspective is irrelevant cause I see toned as toned regardless of how it got to that. Some do care about how it was toned. I should mention that I don&#039;t seek to collect toned coins nor would I pay a premium for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I prefer coins that are closest to their original luster. I also prefer coins that were struck the way they were designed and intended to be made. In other words I don&#039;t like errors or varieties. If I remember correctly, King Farouk of Egypt was of similar mindset to mine. He sought the &quot;purest&quot; examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
