<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1232778, member: 26302&quot;]I think what you say Winged about the other metals toning on the coin is fair Winged. I was just asking, and pointing out my thought also that is was the copper or silver in reality toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know Doug think gold tones, but I am much less sure. When I see photos of ancient gold coins coming out of the ground looking like freshly struck coins, I am in doubt. I have seen way too many photos from the field of fresh finds, and the copper is almost unrecognizable, the silver is covered in &quot;horn silver&quot;, but the gold is perfectly unaffected. My opinion is pure gold will not tone, and any toning you see if either toning of impurities or surface contamination from air pollution, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
