<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 62052, member: 112&quot;]Of course I see where are going with your question - it refers to the number of coins with the colorful toning that have been under the care of a coin doctor. There are a lot of them, of that there is no doubt. However, I strongly suspect that the number of blast white silver coins, which have also been under the care of a coin doctor or else they wouldn&#039;t be blast white 100 years later, greatly outnumber the colorful ones. Of course the reason that you can find all these blast white, 100 yr. old coins doesn&#039;t have anything to do with the prices they bring now does it ? Care to bet on that ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think we can both agree that toned coins and blast white coins can both be the result of someone meddling with the coin. But can we not also agree that these colorful coins can and do occur naturally ? It is after all natures way, always has been. And it is not limited to just US coinage as these pics will attest - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/Great%20Britain/1911_Proof_half_crown_rev%201.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.gdjmsp.cointalk.org/coin_pics/France/1874%205%20francs%20MS65%20obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
