<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1376780, member: 27832&quot;]Any toning that has happened by accident can be reproduced by intent.

But I think Doug and I agree that some AT methods produce results indistinguishable from NT. They&#039;re the same physical processes, in some cases applied over the same amount of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe that the mental processes of the person who put the coin away have any influence on the chemical processes that tone the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that there&#039;s a difference between doing something to tone a coin intentionally and doing that same thing &quot;by accident&quot;. I just don&#039;t agree that the <i>result on the coin</i> is different, and therefore I can&#039;t see why it should affect the coin&#039;s value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
