<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1441290, member: 15309"]You need to remember that the TPG doesn't know anything about the storage conditions of the coin in question. They have to judge it solely on the merits of the coin as they see it. When they deem a coin to have questionable color, it does not mean that they think you artificially toned the coin. All it means is that the color on the coin is not market acceptable in their eyes and the coin is a problem coin. I submit to you that just as artificially toning a coin is a valid reason to call a coin a problem coin so is improper storage. When you store a coin in an album in an attic for 2 decades with fluctuating temperatures and humidities, that is improper storage and certainly can lead to toning that would be deemed questionable by the TPG and other collectors alike.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you provide us with a photograph of the coin in question or the other coins that you thinking about submitting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
