<p>[QUOTE="tonedcoins, post: 998843, member: 25155"]One thing I have been asking myself for a while is why do ASE's tone so quickly? If you look or research for ASE's on the internet, you will find so many toned but with (IMO) very questionable toning. I have stayed away from these pieces until I learn more about them. Sometimes I think it's in the way the metal is processed before the strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the way the metals are mixed and planchets are made has something to do with it? I mean, If you get a Morgan and a ASE side by side and store them in a wood display box under some strong lighting, the ASE will tone quickly with almost neon purples and stuff while the Morgan looks as if nothing ever happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>I say this because I have seen it happening in some dealers shop. I asked if they were there for a while and he confirmed that they have been there for a long time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
