<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 254476, member: 112&quot;]Without a doubt that has been done. Was it done with any of the coins in this thread - no, I don&#039;t think so. Coins with amazing vibrant colors are not just the work of a coin doctor - Mother Nature has created more than her share of masterpieces - far more than any coin doctor ever has.</p><p><br /></p><p>But as to how an AT coin gets into a PCGS or NGC holder - that&#039;s easy. It happens because of the very simple rule they use. In a nutshell, if the TPG has any dount about the toning on a coin being NT - they body bag it every single time. If they don&#039;t - they slab it. That&#039;s because there is no way to <u>prove</u> that toning is AT or NT. I&#039;ve seen coin doctors that could make a coin any color or combination of colors that you want. And absolutely no one will be able to tell they did it. Happily there aren&#039;t very many of those people around.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s the key in my opinion - if you can&#039;t tell the difference, then does it matter ?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for coins being toned in the slab - yeah that&#039;s possible too. It&#039;s possible for a coin doctor to do it - and it&#039;s possible for Mother Nature to do it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
