AN WAS HEAT TONED. I think I see him making a new batch right now.... I thought it might be this guy , but his coins are naturally heat toned because of where he stores them....

southerngent Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 08:55 am Quite the doctor!While I really like nicely toned coins, I am not particularly fond of treated, whether it by chemicals or heat. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 07/09/2010 10:02 am OK, so I'll be the naive one....the are some folks that specialize in toned coins. I'm not defending him or anyone that artificially tones a coin. Matter of fact I don't like the toning and would never buy one. No "old" coin I ever found was toned this way but I have seen silver submerged in salt water and conserved similarly toned. Report this Post to the Staff

The color patterns and combinations do not occur naturally and I suspect the contrast of the images has been juiced as well. That entire inventory is just damaged altered junk and anyone buying it is wasting their money Report this Post to the Staff
Whytlash Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 07/12/2010 04:35 am There's an old saying that goes "What's the difference between a rifle and a pistol? Five minutes and a hacksaw." "What's the difference between an untoned coin and a toned coin? Five seconds and a butane torch." Nuff said. Steve Report this Post to the Staff

hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 07/13/2010 2:15 pm I clicked the link and couldn't find any "GORGEOUS RAINBOW TONED" coins anywhere! blech! "What's the difference between an untoned coin and a toned coin? Five seconds and a butane torch." Or from the other side, "What's the difference between a toned coin and an untoned coin? Five seconds in a dip-n-strip." Report this Post to the Staff
