The Toning Premium Thread Part 2

OK, so guess, and then we'll see just how close you are

 

No. I think the coin is gorgeous, the toning completely natural. Though that's not to say it cannot be replicated by those who know how. And the grade, I don't use plus grades but I'd grade it a 64.

 

OK, but why ? I mean, you mentioned my first post on page 1, and that was in reference to this coin -




And the difference between that, and this -






- is about as radical as you can get ! The coins are night and day apart ! The 1st, to me anyway and I believe anyone who knows coins, has the obvious appearance of artificial chemical toning and is no where near the equal of the 2nd coin in any way. Beyond that it's ugly as sin. The one and only similarity between the 2 coins is the grade on the slab, but that doesn't surprise me in the least. To the contrary it merely confirms what I have long said about the TPGs.

Of course if you can't see the difference between those 2 coins well then that might explain the reason for you being shocked at my opinion of the 2nd. But then I'm just guessing on that count.

 

Well all I can tell ya is my comments are based on the coins that I am commenting on. If you'd been around longer you would readily realize that I have said a great many positive things about coins. But I only do so when the coin is worthy of having positive things said about it. And believe it or not there was even a time when I would occasionally say that the TPGs had under-graded a coin. And when I did, folks would sometimes even send it in and guess what - it would get up-graded.

Imagine that !

 

What's a matter Paul, ya missed me or sumpin ? Or is it that ya just don't have anybody else to argue with today ?

"EOR toning configuration" ? Boy, if ya had somehow managed to work alliteration in there I'd been downright impressed ! But I gotta admit that woulda been a toughy.

End of roll toning ? Really ? How does something that is round, like a coin roll, end up forming a square (or rectangle) when ya fold it over ? I've rolled a lot of coins in my day and I've sure never seen it happen. And the way it follows the curls of the hair on the bottom, that one would be tough too. But I'll give ya credit, it sounds good.

In any event I don't mind a bit that you disagree with my opinion.
