I kinda unsure about that case. The wood stove will dry out the air in winter a lot. I know coins are more likely to tone in high humidity. I'm just wondering how much smoke would escape the stove. I know I probally tone it a lot if you stored them on top of the stove haha.

Well might have a problem with the humidity here in Montana. Did move coins to room farthest from wood stove. Might help a little with that part.

May be we should have a dedicated thread for Toned/Toning ASE (Remove the "2015" in the title and get everyone to just focus/post all that related about ASE tone in this single thread (just like we did with the ATB puck))..... |

This is day one before I took it out and slipped in my pocket. During the day it will be in the change pocket of my jeans with my normal pocket stage. At night I have a stand set up in my bedroom for it. I plan on taking pictures everyday as a experiment. I may update it monthly on the pocket piece thread. Just takes to optimize the images every day. I like to do a time lapse but I see if I can get the images close enough day to day.   |

I like the shot of the ASE next to the walker. Pretty cool. Also - I just so happen to have a '42 walker on my desk! |

Been trying to tone mine and use it as a pocket piece at the same time. It's kinda like a time share program but I don't know if the goals conflict too much haha.

Thanks Celticknot
Bertensgrad,
I dont think its going to tone if its in your pocket and being rubbed.....you will get wear on the coin but not the toning......I took another coin I had toning and rubbed it a bit with a soft cloth and the toning rubbed off, not completely but it got lighter. I believe the toning my coins are receiving is an effect of cooking in the house. When the toning came off a dirty slightly oily residue was left on the cloth.
I also think that if you toned it first then used it as a pocket piece you would eventually lose the toning also. So its either tone and dont touch or touch and dont tone....your choice lol.

I'm trying to get s circulated Walker look. So I'm looking for toning in the crevices and protected spots. Wheter this is toning or dirt idk haha. It's starting to do it a little bit already. Not looking for toning everywhere. At most a cameo. I just want it to look like its a 100 years old in about 18 years. No colors besides grey or black.

Bert, that look is 90% grime. The oils dirt and gunk built up from passing through many hands. Not sure how you can self replicate it but keep us updated

Hm I might be replicating it already haha. I deal with soil a lot and I touch the dollar a lot without washing my hand between them. I let my cousins and brother touch it too when they want to see it. So might happen pretty fast lol. I guess I kinda don't want to think about it it's starting to show up in just a few weeks.
