Hell my wife&#039;s SilverWare tarnishes in a matter of months, has to be cleaned every time we pull it out. I would guess Morgan&#039;s in the center of a roll or bag would be less likely to tarnish as those on the end of the roll or touching the bag. lightly Dipping a coin to clean it has always been accepted and still is by many today but not to the extent of the past as that&#039;s what the customer base expected ( bright &amp; shinny &quot;-) I have nothing against lightly dipping a coin as long as it&#039;s done correctly by a competent coinologist. </p><p><br /></p><p>To get to your question...</p><p><br /></p><p>I break it down to two categories as far as Toning...</p><p><br /></p><p>Clean Toning and Dirty Toning...</p><p><br /></p><p>Clean toning can increase the coins value 2 to 4 times book...</p><p><br /></p><p>( Extreme caution must be applied when purchasing toned coins as with all things involving $$$ there are those that pray on the unsuspecting and artificial toning has become more prevalent in today&#039;s market... &quot;-(</p><p><br /></p><p>Dirty toning can decrease the coins value to half book or less...</p><p><br /></p><p>( In my eyes Dirty Toning is a great case for lightly dipping a coin, kind of like giving it a fresh start.
