[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 230220, member: 8012"][b]Toning[/b] I had an out-of-body experience yesterday. As I go through my change, I keep really good specimans. For example, if I find a Full Step nickel, I've been putting it in a plastic coin tube. When I first started this a couple of months ago, I had quickly torn off about a quarter of a page of that yellow legal pad paper and bunched it up to act as a stopper inside the tube so the coins wouldn't slide around. Well, yesterday, I take them out to kind of look 'em over. They ALL have a yellowish haze on them. Most of them were those shiny new 2005-2007 nickels that looked like mirrors. Now poor old Jefferson looks like he just had the 89 cent special at Taco Johns. And mind you, this was only after a couple of months. Luckily I learned my lesson "at face value" and not with some super-cool coins I might have won from an estate auction on E-Bay :)[/QUOTE]
