Spence Moderator United States 34524 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 11:33 am @shan, from your title, it seems like you suspect that tobacco smoke has caused this toning. Do the coins themselves smell of smoke or just the wrapper/tube? I once purchased a book from a numismatist who smoked and the smell had just soaked into the pages.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6818 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 12:07 pm I've had both situations CRH nickels. Customer wrapped rolls from the bank can stink like smoke. But also, coins can reek like smoke, particularly if they have sticky substances on the surface (and that gummy nicotine gunk is itself sticky). Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6818 Posts	Posted 11/15/2023 1:16 pm I guess you could sell the toned coins via ebay, so picky customers don't have a chance to smell them first. That happened to me with a used laptop once. I went through all the checks, but when I finally used it for an extended period, it became apparent that the thermal paste had deteriorated and was giving off a brutal benzene stink similar to body odor. Well played, sneaky laptop sellers, well played. Report this Post to the Staff
