<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 101788, member: 1886&quot;]Zaneman I&#039;m not trying to be sarcastic when ask this, but what is the point of trying to make an old coin look new?</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not true that &quot;everyone&quot; hates dark toning, some people love it. And what people think is ugly today they may well be clamoring for tomorrow. If you don&#039;t believe me look up &quot;destroyed jeans&quot; or &quot;distressed jeans.&quot; These are jeans that most people threw in the garbage can 10 years ago. Now they pay hundreds of dollars for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>One other thing, the darker the toning the stronger the bond it has on the metal. It&#039;s very difficult to get it out of protected areas and reeding. That&#039;s one of the signs that a coin has been dipped in the first place, you can still see the black or dark blue around protected areas and denticles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
