delaner,
Maybe others have more input on this. I did it on this coin at the suggestion of other.
Most of the time I carried this coin in my watch pocket, problem I had with that is I carry my pocket watch. Sometimes I did have it in the main pocket with other coins and keys. And I do think it did get a new ding. I also lost it twice, well misplaced, but found it within a day or two.
The wear from having it in my pocket for a month did cause more wear. If I hold the coin at a angle I can see a couple of flat spots that are more "shiny" but that does not show looking straight on.
I think a few weeks on the dash of my car will tone that back out.
Where some people put coins on a window sill, I put them in a wet manila envelope on the dash of my car.
I have has success getting a toned look with this method.
