<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 13804466, member: 92655&quot;]There are some true toning aficionados on this site. Folks I would truly consider experts on toning. I am not one of those having been a “blast white” collector my entire collecting lifetime…….. There was a new poster here several years back. A nice lady that was not a coin person. She inherited a lovely ASE from her deceased father and that ASE had been displayed in a glass case that was in a window in his home and it had developed the loveliest rainbow hues that I had ever seen….. She had posted the piece here simply wanting information on what she had inherited. A multi-page discussion broke out among the members here on the legitimacy of the toning on her ASE that was never resolved. I came away from that with one conclusion. There is no true method to determine AT/NT on many of these pieces. Other than the gaudy neon colors that are quite obviously AT, there is no true method to determine. So we purchase and own the coins that are appealing to our eyes without regard to others opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
