<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 53661, member: 3011&quot;]Here is a &quot;beginner&#039;s&quot; answer.&nbsp; When I see a photo of a high grade mint state coin that is completely toned, I can&#039;t even figure out how the grader determined that it is high grade.&nbsp; Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes seem to frequently have a speckled appearance that I think is ugly, but which doesn&#039;t seem to affect the grade -- or the cost.&nbsp; So I guess I&#039;m one of those superficial shiny coin lovers.&nbsp; But here&#039;s a question.&nbsp; I know silver will tone, but how about other metals?&nbsp; Are there coins that don&#039;t tone?&nbsp; I put the coins I care about in airtites, but maybe that won&#039;t help in the long run either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
