Quote: o me, that last statement sounds like they're ADMITTING all toning is a form of environmental damage
No, I think they're being quite clear in that some coins are and some aren't. The line is quite clear really. Does the toning eat away mint luster, or is it eating into the surfaces? If toning is doing neither, and is stable and merely "on" the surface, than it is not damage.
dont care for them. most will not remain with that beautiful toning as they age. second, depending on the toning it makes grading the coin way more difficult as it can hide all kinds of issues
