<p>[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 7814480, member: 22377"]The length of time to tone depends on the method and environment. Many of the toned Morgans you see today sat in bags for many decades before they toned (due to the environment and the sulfur-applied to the bags to prevent rats from ripping them open). Other coins have sat in albums, special tissue paper (that is how some proofs were stored in the early days), or velvet trays (collectors kept some coins in cabinets as one method of storage). </p><p><br /></p><p>Then you have accelerated toning (some blatantly artificial and some that replicated natural conditions but speeds it up). This can be done anywhere between a few minutes to a few months.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as environment-that matters too. If the coins are in a humid or hot environment, they could tone quicker than in a cool environment (where they may not tone at all).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
