<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 3104581, member: 76440&quot;]That is a wonderful Silvia Hurter and Mildenberg story!&nbsp; I expect Nicolas&#039; storage method combined with careful coin selection are both responsible for the intense toning.&nbsp; Good surfaces tone well.&nbsp; Harshly cleaned surfaces sometimes tone badly or not at all.&nbsp; The Nicolas Collection was large, so I doubt that any one dealer source or hoard source could be responsible for the toning.&nbsp; The discernment of the collector and his storage methods are likely the common threads you are seeking. Maybe he was a tobacco smoker - I don&#039;t know whether that would accelerate toning and I&#039;m not about to experiment![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
