[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 8210765, member: 94733"]This is only my personal feelings on toning, so take it with a grain of salt. Toning is usually referred to as natural or artificial, but all toning is Environmental Damage, so toning should (in my opinion) be in two categories; Timed, and forced. Timed is toning from that particular coins environment over a long period of time, while forced is toning done rapidly, using abnormal means (heat, chemicals, etc.). So, while it is possible to tell which is which by some, it isn't by others, so buy, trade, and keep what [I]you like[/I]. If you are planning on selling the toned coin for a premium over current prices, simply due to its toning, then add a disclaimer if you can't guarantee it is timed toning. Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]
