    Cornell, and just to show how much I follow it, I had to look up what happened.

    There are only 2 reasons I know of that would make you say that today. Either you like low grades or you are a complete liberal. The first of those was true when I went and I assume still is. The second has become true since I left.

    Nothing that profound. I went to school to be an engineer and ended up a hotel manager. Cornell school of hotel management is awesome. Lehigh is a party school for all the rich kids that couldn't make it into an Ivy League and some standout public school kids like myself. I hated it. I partied in my teens and was over it by the time I got to college and the school was ridiculously hard, average GPA 2.7.

    Let's just say I graduated and it only took 4 years. As for party school, I was over 18 back then, and that was the drinking age. I seriously doubt that there were many (any?) other schools could hold a glass to us.

    Gonna have to tell a little story here I think. Back in 2000 I bought a roll of ASE's. Took every one of 'em out and put them in an Air-Tite. Then I took all of those Air-Tites and put them in a Tupperware bowl. Then I put that bowl in my bottom dresser drawer. Had another bowl full of 2000 Sackys right beside it.

    Now a year later I looked at those coins. The Sackys were just like the day they came out of the mint rolls. But the ASE's, about half of them had a ring of translucent purple all the way around on both sides. A year after that, there was another ring of translucent purple just inside the first. And year after that there was a third. The coins were drop dead gorgeous, much like Lehigh's coin only purple with a white silver center. Sold every one of them at a coin show in Vegas.

    So it can happen folks and it is quite real.

    Not ever really sure why you would ask such a question. I did everything I could to prevent toning from occuring - but it did anyway. So how could that possibly be considered as artificial - by anybody ?

    If that's AT then I don't know what NT is.

    What he did was well known before he did it. Someone posts on the CU forum that the sky is blue and it'd generate 200 posts and a dozen side threads about this amazing discovery. :rolleyes: If done in less obvious ways, the toning won't scream AT and can be a small enhancement to selling the coin in the slab.

    didn't say it was intentional.....

    you put it in a case and in 2 years they toned from contact with something. So I was just asking....

    Got the coin in the mail today. Check out my photos. The toning is less vibrant that the seller's photos make it appear. My photos are a more accurate representation of the actual appearance of the coin. It is absolutely striking in hand and the photos don't really do it justice. Now here comes the question. Do I crack it out?

    Ahhhh - looks much more like what I described. If not for the date, I would have to wonder if it were one of mine.

    I wouldn't crack it. Just store it properly and keep an eye on it.

    If you leave it in I would assume it will continue to tone regardless of how it was stored? (that's a question) If you crossed to PCGS or NGC would it stop? - You have experience in this matter. When I look at that fully toned ASE you posted in another thread - I think I like this one much better. The gold across the entire coin does not appeal to me but the rings of toning do. So I guess it's a matter of what you like.
