<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1116981, member: 26302&quot;]I will tell you for a fact the more raw and natural a silver coin is, the more it will tone. Overdipped or whizzed coins, or circulated, will not tone as readily, its just a function of the surfaces, if the surfaces are not smooth and pure silver, its harder to tone in my experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure about your idea of the attic. Humidity is a key element in the equation, without humidity in the paper the toning does not happen. Its not heat per se, and actually too much heat will lead to AT looking coins in the wrong environment. </p><p><br /></p><p>How about this experiment? Put original coins in an old album, put it away somewhere where there is a modicum of humidity, and let sit for a few months. That should be enough for the process to start, and not long enough time to ruin a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
