Toning by f b
Thanks to someone here, I have been pulling toned coins out of circulation. A question, If I remember right, once I put them in 2X2 the toning should stop? I like them the color they are now and don't want any more to be added. Am I right, or is there a better way to stop the toning? Thanks,...
