<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1106745, member: 112&quot;]OK - just think about it for a minute. A coin&#039;s original owner places it in his album. The coins starts to tone and gets a ring of color around the outer edge. Then that collector sells off his collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The new owner of this coin then places this very same coin in an envelope. Or maybe he places it in a multi-coin plastic holder. The point is he uses a different storage medium than the original owner used.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, since we know that toning is specific to storage methods and environment, once the coin is removed from the original storage medium that particular toning stops. But now the coin is in an entirely different environment, so toning starts all over again. But since toning protects metal and inhibits additional toning in those specific areas, the new toning starts in the previously untoned areas of the coin because those areas are not protected and are thus more susceptible to toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Got the idea now ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
