My position on SMS sets is basically that anything is possible. I once owned an SMS Lincoln that was mind blowing! In fact, if nobody posts a...
Do you store your coins in an air conditioned home? Have you ever forgotten to put the acetate slide back in? You would be surprised what can...
I knew that but I’m not sure if the other followers of this thread knew it.
It doesn’t work that way, despite your wishes. The TPGs recognize that toning is an absolute certainty, and they are not going to penalize a coin...
I think I should stress, you don’t have to be the owner of the coin. If you see a coin on E-Bay, Heritage, GC etc that you think is AT, just post...
Ok, explain the scenario in which a TPG grader can know the intent of the owner(s) of the coin.
The count is 7-3 for AT without his opinion, I think it is safe to call it at this point.

If you are talking about coins you’ve seen in hand, yeah, I can’t help ya. We are kinda limited to what we can find online.
Okay, you got me, congrats.
Again, when grading those coins, the TPG grader will not have any information about the storage condition of those coins. Furthermore, I submit...
Prove it! Show us an untoned coin, then show the exact same coin with market acceptable rainbow toning the next day. I have offered this...
BUMP!
I defined NT, QT, AT, & MA in the first post of the thread. Whining about it simply means you have a problem with reading comprehension. I don't...
Did you read the original post?
That’s hilarious! Bravo! Oh, we have that in abundance, right here on this forum.
Agreed Baseball21 When grading a coin, you know nothing about the intent of the previous owner, therefore, you can't use intent when determining...
For someone who is in the 100% “live person to person” camp, you spend an awful lot of time discussing numismatics on the internet. So while you...
