I personally do not know how to do this and would not attempt to do so myself. Blue Whitman folders seem to encourage toning, I collected a circulated statehood quarter set just for the heck of it, and already some of these coins are displaying somewhat of a golden tone.

I think anything going beyond environmental storage would be considered artificial toning...come to think of it I found a Canadian quarter in my yard while I was gardening, and the soil had rendered it very dark, but in the right lighting it really does display nice color.
