<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 688320, member: 11467&quot;]Doug, you seem to be talking about intentional toning vs. unintentional toning,but not AT vs. NT. And I still don&#039;t think intent (at least not alone) distinguishes AT from NT. For example....</p><p><br /></p><p>One collector puts his coins in an album that unknown to him, contains sulfur, and places it in his deposit box, without any thought, knowledge or expectation that his coins will tone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another collector does the same, but with the thought/knowledge/expectation that his coins will tone.</p><p><br /></p><p>In each case, the toning is what I would call natural, but if you want to disagree and say it not natural, that&#039;s OK. However, whatever it is, it&#039;s the same, regardless of the knowledge or INTENT of the collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that your comments about Sunnywood are off base and unfair.To my knowledge, he buys his coins in slabs and in many cases with old time pedigrees, such as Elaisberg. I have known him for approximately 10 years, seen many of his coins and, more importantly, he is not one of the toners and braggers you made reference to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
