<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 474947, member: 15309&quot;]Ruben,</p><p><br /></p><p>With all due respect, that statement is just plain wrong.&nbsp; The colors that appear on the coin are simply a result of the thickness of the silver sulfide layer on the surface of the coin.&nbsp; A bag toned Morgan Dollar will show a rainbow effect because of the increasing thickness of the silver sulfide layer across the coins surface.&nbsp; The process is completely natural for the given method of storage.&nbsp; You posted a photo of what a real toned Morgan Dollar should look like.&nbsp; That coin was not bag toned, it appears to be album toned.&nbsp; Album toning and bag toning will result in markedly different toning patterns on a coin, and both are correct!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben, you accused me of campaigning in the other thread related to the AU64 concept.&nbsp; My question is this, who is campaigning now?&nbsp; You made 6 consecutive posts in this thread.&nbsp; If you are not campaigning against rainbow toning, what are you trying to accomplish?</p><p><br /></p><p>Every time this topic comes up, you bash rainbow toned coins and spout off about how the toning is damage and unnatural.&nbsp; I know that I have posted this link before, but I would like you to actually read it this time.&nbsp; Tom provides and excellent scientific write up of the toning process on coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ivyleaguecoin.com/scienceoftoning.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ivyleaguecoin.com/scienceoftoning.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ivyleaguecoin.com/scienceoftoning.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW:&nbsp; I am planning to create a thread that lists the different types of toning with photographic examples.&nbsp; The purpose of the thread will be educational not an attempt to recruit new members for my rainbow toning cult.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Please don&#039;t bash the thread when I post it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
