<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 310167, member: 11521&quot;]Here is Bob Campbell&#039;s DVD. At about $20 it is well worth the money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.stantonbooks.com/DVDartificialToning.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You have to wonder why coins are artificially toned. Some are toned for the &quot;WOW&quot; factor - to get people to pay huge amounts of money for a wildly toned coin. Others are toned to hide something - scratches, alterations, defects. By hiding defects with AT a coin may be bumped several points in grade (if the AT gets past the graders). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Coin doctors make a very good living splitting the price increase of coins they doctor. How would you like to be the buyer of a nicely-toned MS-66 Lafayette Dollar ($14,250) only to find out later that it had graded MS-64 ($3,100) before it was artificially toned to hide hairline scratches? Meanwhile the seller and the coin doctor have split the $11,150 bump in price of the coin and laughed all the way to the bank. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Knowledge is power. The more you know about AT the less likely you are to be the victim of a coin doctor. Learn the sequence of toning colors; coins with colors in the wrong order or wrong direction are probably artificially toned. Learn how toning lays on a coin. All this is explained in Bob Campbell&#039;s DVD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
