Daniel Frishberg Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Would there be a way of intentionally toning coins but not artifically toning them but leaving them in those old envelopes for a few decades? Like those gorgeous frankilins or morgans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yes, however its impossible to know if this has been done intentionally or by accident; say when gramps forgot about those coins in the sock bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyUS.com Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I have coins intentionally stored in environments that I hope will induce beautiful toning. It does work. RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbbpll Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I have a couple quarters and nickels that I folded in some cheap hotel cardboard while out east, to protect them because they were the first 2017-P I had encountered. A few months later they had picked up some golden and steel blue subtle toning, so I left them in there. 3 years later I think they're in a terminal state now, i.e. it hasn't changed for a long time. I suppose the cardboard is done outgassing sulphur or whatever it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably induce toning, whether or not that toning will be "beautiful", is still a matter of luck. Crawtomatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
