<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 53941, member: 112"]That's the problem with natural toning - you don't know what you'll get until it's already happened. How a coin will tone depends on so many different variables that is no way to predict it. Toning can be affected by light, humidity, temperature, the material or materials the coin comes into contact with, what you use to heat your home - gas or electric, it can even depend on who supplies the gas. Then there's stuff like air conditioning or an evaporative cooler, whether you or anyone in your home smokes or not - and how much. The list is almost endless. Basically anything that can happen in life - can affect how a coin will tone. </p><p><br /></p><p>And then there is the time element. I have seen coins tone in a couple of days if left in sunlight. I have sene others take 30 yrs - or anyplace in between.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
