<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1120978, member: 112&quot;]Not exactly. The reason that coins tone from the edges inward is because it is at the edge that the coin is in contact with the storage medium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your box for example. If a coin is laid in the bottom of a box, th epart of the coin that is actually touching the box is the rim. So when toning occurs it occurs first at the point where the coin is touching the box, and then it moves inwards towards the center of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same thing happens with coin albums. The coins touch the album at the edge of the coin. So the toning occurs close to the edge before it occurs anyplace else.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one exception is envelope toning. Because paper envelopes are flexible, the paper may actually be touching the coin at any or even several points. So envelope toning has a completely different look than most other types of toning and an occur first at any point on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>No matter what the storage medium is, it is where that medium touches the coin that toning will occur first.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
