<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CHAMELEON, post: 726192, member: 11032&quot;]Artificial toning is not corrosion. Natural oxidation will continue to change over time, while an AT coin will not change (even when subjected to extreme conditions).</p><p><br /></p><p>The nickel pictured looks 100% NT, and nickels are not the coins that that have been throwing off the TPG&#039;s (the silver coins are the one&#039;s that have been causing all the problems). The only coins of mine that I thought NGC has done a decent job of grading with any sort of consistency are Jefferson nickels, but seeing your nickel bagged makes me not want to send them any more of my nickels (which were the only coins I was considering ever sending to them again). They have no consistency at all, and their grading always surprises me (grading too high and too low, and bagging coins that no collector or dealer would ever call AT).</p><p><br /></p><p>The first time I ever used NGC I sent in 5 toned coins and all of them graded. That is the one and only time I know of where NGC has graded every single coin submitted. I&#039;ve asked many other national dealers, and everyone said that NGC always bags something. I think it&#039;s because they can get away it, and often get paid again when the coin is sent back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
