<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 1215119, member: 4920&quot;]I constantly find myself advising the kids in my kid&#039;s coin club, if it&#039;s toning (a.k.a., &quot;tarnish&quot;), it&#039;s natural. They&#039;re young and impressionable, you see, and some of them still think coin collecting boils down to being a <i>detective</i>. I can&#039;t blame them. I don&#039;t want them falling into that trap, though. Not with my coins, anyway. And, I&#039;ve gifted them many such coins, to get them started. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I forget what I was going to say. Oh yeah. Forget about trying to <i>detect</i> the manner or mode of onset of the toning. Forget about centering your collecting habits on that. Keep your eye on the face of the coin, derive your conclusions on what your eye can see, and never let anybody, I don&#039;t care who they are, influence you to take your &quot;minds eye&quot; off the coin and derive your conclusions, thusly, on what your eye <i>can&#039;t</i> see. That, the latter, is a sucker&#039;s game, pure and simple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
