<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 356445, member: 112&quot;]Something that perhaps should be considered when dicussing this topic is this - it is not uncommon for a coin that is in rough shape or has problems to be intentionally toned in order to cover those issues. And not all intentional toning is bright and colorful. A lot of it can be just plain ordinary gun metal grey, for silver coins anyway. And sometimes it can be quite dark. And that dark toning does an excellent job of covering up problems. And as many already know, there are even commercially sold products on the market that allow you to do this.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, since so many collectors out there do not like toning of any kind and seem to want all of their coins bright and shiny, it only stands to reason that coins like those I mentioned above, when subitted to NCS for conservation, could easily turn out to look worse after the conservation than they did before the conservation. For once all that dark toning is removed - all those problem issues once again see the light of day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
