<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1198410, member: 10103&quot;]The controversy between naturally toned and artificially toned has intrigued me.&nbsp; How does&nbsp; something tone in the non-artificial sense?&nbsp; Let&#039;s see......I leave a coin out on the window sill, in the blazing afternoon sun, and turn it over every few days, and after a period of time it begins to tone.&nbsp; Artificial or natural?&nbsp; After all I&#039;m purposly doing this so one could could argue that the coin has been intentionally toned.&nbsp; And that&#039;s where I think the biggest bruhaha arises between folks who argue over this.&nbsp; Grandpa leaves an old silver dollar in a cedar chest for thirty years and the coin is discovered after his passing.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the old boy intended for the coin to tone but it has developed a marvelous color.&nbsp; Artificial or natural?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
