<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ConfederateHalf, post: 24648306, member: 27946&quot;]Interesting discussion so far.&nbsp; Detergent - urine - high temp oven baking - all sorts of theories and speculation on causes of such toning.&nbsp; This leaves me wondering something. If there is that much lack of consensus on how toning occurs, does it even matter?</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean, the bottom line is whether or not the coin has any eye appeal.&nbsp; All toning is the result of chemical reactions.&nbsp; Some occur over time from natural environmental exposures and some happen because coin doctors like playing chemistry professor.&nbsp; But at the end of the day I’ve yet to ever read a satisfactory and convincing dissertation on how to conclusively tell the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>After reading such discussions for years I’ve concluded that it simply doesn’t matter.&nbsp; People continue to buy and sell toned coins and the people who hate this continue to gripe about it - all mostly to no avail.&nbsp; So at this point that debate sort of bores me.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I really wanted to hear back on was whether other coin roll searchers pull attractively toned coins when they find them.&nbsp; So far, I haven’t heard one person say a simple yes or no to that question and that’s a bit disappointing.&nbsp; I really was curious to know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well…<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie65" alt=":meh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
