It was intentionally done, more likely to add a premium to the price of the coin. It&#039;s artificial toning and the clue it is, this coin is a copper-nickle clad and wouldn&#039;t usually tone in this manner, if it tones at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>By placing a coin into anything that is known to cause toning to occur, such as the items you&#039;ve mentioned above, it still falls under the AT category because the cause was influenced by someone using agents known to cause toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
