<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 116475, member: 3011"]I have the opportunity to buy a batch of circulated morgan silver dollars at a very low price. The catch is that they have been cleaned, look cleaned, and the seller admits they were cleaned and priced them very low to compensate. I'd like to buy them just for the bullion value, but I also think they would look better if they could be retoned. A shiny VF just doesn't look right.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my question is, is there any known way to "help" the coins tone to a more natural grey color within a reasonable period of time, say 1-2 years? Are some brands of folders or storage methods known to produce a natural toning? I'm not planning to try to resell the coins as never having been cleaned or anything like that. I'd just like them to look better, meaning a more natural grey as circulated coins should look, and not shiny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
