Long Exposure. Short Exposure, Direct long, direct short. Proximity Long, Proximity Short.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nothing produced anything that would even come close to an artificially toned coin. All just turned a solid light green to deep violet over the entire coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was educational enough for me to dismiss most &quot;it was torched&quot; comments regarding some toned coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
