<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1293895, member: 112&quot;]fizzy - </p><p><br /></p><p>What you are suggesting will absolutely work in some cases. There are lots of toned coins in NGC and PCGS slabs where the toning is hiding a previous harsh cleaning. That is one of the dangers of buying a toned coin and it has always been recognized as being a danger. But be aware, it&#039;ll probably take quite some time because circulated coins don&#039;t tone as quickly as uncirculated coins do. And don&#039;t forget, I said it works in some cases. But that doesn&#039;t mean it works in every case, and it very well may not in yours.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what you are suggesting is pretty well saying that you&#039;d like to tone this coin so the toning would hide the harsh cleaning and fool PCGS into slabbing it for me so I can sell it for more money than it is really worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m not trying to be judgmental, but that would bother me.
