Copper reacts with different substances such as sulfer, producing lots of different colors, both intentionally and naturally. Heat, vinegar and salt, and boiling with eggs are some of the ways coin doctors produce colors. Your coin could have come in contact with any number of chemicals in the course of normal use.

 No, Ma'am, that is not what I meant. I was just giving examples of how it may have been caused. It is toning, but it may not be natural toning.

Stupid page won't let me like any more today. 

Ok. So toning isn't just toning. There is like environmental and chemical toning. Is there a certain way that I can tell them apart?
