<p>[QUOTE="SorenCoins, post: 3564024, member: 73708"]I somewhat in a way feel that the distinction between some natural toners and artificial toners is somewhat of a fine line and can be nearly arbitrary. Now coins that were found toned in an OBW roll vs ones someone put in an oven have a strong distinction, say sunlight toned coins, ones that sit on a window sill and catch a tone through that. It could be toned through natural processes, as the sunlight helps speed the reaction between the metal and the materials around it, but it could be considered toned through artificial processes due to someone purposefully setting it there to tone. That's where I find it hard to tell. Anybody can set up a coin in exactly the right conditions to gather a natural tone, but then it would be artificial, or would it? You're right, it would be a good idea for a debate topic <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
