<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2236048, member: 112"]By your own words, and math, the copper is only on 25% of the surface of the coin. And yeah, I agree it can be uniformly distributed. But that doesn't matter, because 75% of the surface is gold. And if the claim that gold doesn't tone is true, then the copper molecules can't tone the gold molecules next to them, underneath them, or on top of them. So no more than 25% of the surface of the coin can be toned. But rather obviously that is not the case, leaving only 1 conclusion.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I think you need to read again because I never claimed that impurities were "drawn" to the surface. On the contrary, I claimed that such a thing was not possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm well aware that "science" says that gold can't tone. And for the most part I'm a great believer in science.
