<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7820234, member: 112"]Not really. Am I correct in assuming that this drawer was a wooden drawer ? Wood, all wood, particularly puts off gasses that cause coins to tone. Wood is notorious for that. As for why the D coins toned and the P did not, it's because of the differences in the luster the coins have - more luster = faster and more toning. So it's not a lottery at all, it's simply a matter things being different. And if you know these things then you know what to expect and what not to expect. But if you don't know ..... That is the nature of knowledge, and why it needs to be shared <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
