I had a few boxes of nickel 25c (mint rolls) in the garage at the time. They were submerged, soaked, in rainwater and street runoff. I dried the boxes, but left the coins in their original plastic rolls, and set them on a shelf in my basement - &quot;you can&#039;t hurt pure nickel&quot; is what I thought.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">Now, in 2012 (three plus years), I finally got around to cracking them open. Some coins are actually stuck together, and corroded, but some are toned. The toning on some of the coins is a beautiful soft rainbow, and some have vivid toning patterns, like gasoline on water...</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">Would you consider these coins artificially toned, or naturally toned?</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial"></font></span>[ATTACH]224450.vB[/ATTACH]<span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial"></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial"></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
