<p>[QUOTE="MKent, post: 1878226, member: 33625"]Would it inappropriate to post an Ebay list to ask if the toning of a certain coin was NT or AT? I am trying to learn about toning and have had some good advice from CT members, but I wanted to post some coins from Ebay and get opinions. I do not want to do this if it is considered inappropriate or some how unethical. I'm not trying to call anyone into question only to get the opinion of CT members that are educated in toned coins. I see coins posted on here that are graded by TPGs with rainbow toning and I can only assume that they are not of questionable color, then I see similar coins raw on Ebay toned in the same manner and I am not sure as to the origin. I can understand an 1889 Morgan being brightly and beautifully colored, but how can an ASE from 2010 be colored the same? I see a lot of example of new or newer clad coins that are toned although I hardly ever their older silver counterparts displaying those same characteristics.</p><p>I also see some dealers selling lower quality raw Morgans that are toned up for huge premiums over the melt price most would expect from a bullion dealer. I may be way off base but I am trying to learn so I will be more informed and able to purchase quality coins not coins that have been tampered with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
