<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1310901, member: 26030&quot;]I have bought a number of toned nickels ... so i would think that the copper-nickel clad coinage of the 1970&#039;s and later era, could tone in the right environment and with enough time ... perhaps they just need more years to get the populations up.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, from what I have seen silver is a much more reactive surface than nickel -- so there will always be more toned silver coins (IMHO).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]147730.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]147731.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]147734.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that might be contributing to fewer toned modern coins is better albums, envelopes, and holders (made without sulfur) in the modern era.&nbsp; Many of these great old toners were due to the abundance of lower quality holders and albums made prior to 1970 and even more so prior to 1959.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
