<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 478368, member: 6641&quot;]Here is an interesting thread that examines some of the specific surfaces for coins that tone more often that others.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12578" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12578">http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12578</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then you consider coins like the ASE Lehigh posted here:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44175" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44175">http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44175</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And I posted Here:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43368" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43368">http://www.cointalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43368</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And it changes my position a little on the first thread.&nbsp; The original surface prep of the Morgans and Franklin&#039;s seem to lend to very attractive toning naturally while Peace Dollars rarely tone. With coins like the next two (ASE and Matte finish 94 Nickel) outside influences like storage conditions can overcome the surface prep and cause any coin to tone.&nbsp; I have seen three more nickels like the one I posted since and they all have the same exact toning.&nbsp; I think it has to do with the material of the packaging???</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As far as surface wear that borgovan talks about I think you have to consider more than just the surface.&nbsp; Chemicals, oils, and resulting environmental issues will cause toning and most of the time this toning is not very attractive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Still a subject I love to learn more about as my exposure to more coins continues.&nbsp; Despite some members dislike for toned coins I think we can all learn much from it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
