<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1188622, member: 16948"]Todd, if you do a search on CT for toned coins, you'll find a zillion threads about natural vs. artificial toning on coins. And it is not easy for even more experienced coin people to tell the difference. There are a lot of ways to artificially tone coins which I won't go into, but some of the ways that coins can tone "naturally" (however you define that term) include storing them in old tissue paper, cellophane, sulfur envelopes, in old coin books, and even in old wooden drawers. For copper, these storage methods have created some beautiful and colorful toned coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
