[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7814449, member: 115909"]Firstly I want to be clear: [B]None of this is about or related to “monster toning” or artificial toning of any kind. Only natural toning not done deliberately. [/B] Here is an example of a toned Morgan Dollar. [ATTACH=full]1343154[/ATTACH] I’m wondering how long it takes for toning on a coin like this to be noticeable to the naked eye? Because I imagine someone doesn’t just wake up one day and find a rainbow toned Morgan when the day before it was blast white. I’m assuming it takes time for the colors to develop. Oh and what causes them to all tone uniquely with different colors? I have old coins but they just seem to tone darker and darker with patina. But they don’t change colors. Is it chemicals in the air? Humidity? Or some other environmental factor? Or just an Act of God no one can explain?[/QUOTE]
