I think they only use it with their Secure Plus service which would make you right that it is a marketing ploy.
I agree that the bust half has been dipped and developed a secondary toning. I don’t see anything that screams AT/QT but I also don’t collect...
No matter how outrageous the toning, there is a scenario in which that toning could have developed naturally with regards to intent. That is the...

Since the idea was to generate points for posting an AT coin, I thought it would be inferred that the poster felt the coin was AT. We should only...
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...
