<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 973328, member: 112&quot;]It looks pretty much excactly like one that has been dipped, except it might a little bit less luster. After all, that&#039;s what dipping does. It removes all traces of toning and takes some of the luster along with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you ask about one that has been well cared for. OK, but consider - the last Buff was minted in 1938. But what storage methods were available in 1938 ? And what ones were most commonly used ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin flips didn&#039;t exist, neither did hard plastic coin holders. For that matter, most plastics didn&#039;t exist. And there were no silica gel packs either. Back then coin collectors universally used suphur laden manila envelopes to store their coins. And there was no climate control in homes either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now imagine, under those conditions do you think it likely that a coin would not tone ? Any coin, let alone one that was made of our most reactive coinage metal - copper ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
