<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1889824, member: 112&quot;]Typically, it&#039;s not that the toning has worn off, but rather that the toning never occurred in those places because the luster was worn off in those places.</p><p><br /></p><p>Luster and toning are directly and perpetually linked to each other. It is the areas of a coin with luster that always tone first due to the nature of the luster itself. And it is the nature of the toning (of lustrous areas) that is responsible for showing us the colors that we see. </p><p><br /></p><p>Given the color, my guess is that the toning we see on this coin is the second go round, meaning that this coin has toned once before, been dipped, and then re-toned again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
