Oh I'm gonna try it. But try it yourself, it's pretty simple.
LOL ! I like it :D
That's the thing - you can never know if toning is truly terminal until after you dip the coin. There have been more coins than you can count that...
Two reasons: back when they changed their policy (2007) they needed the business, and agreeing to slab problem coins was one way of getting it....
