<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 688403, member: 112&quot;]OK, intentional vs unintentional. Would you ever say that <u>any</u> artifical toning was unintentional ? I certainly can&#039;t imagine any that would be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this will help explain why I have a problem drawing the line between artificial toning and natural toning. As you say, it is a gray area. OK, I agree, it is a gray area. But I cannot see any difference between 2 people who do the following.</p><p><br /></p><p>#1 - places his coins in old albums, knowing these albums will put off gases that cause his coins to tone. And to speed up that process, he leaves the albums out in the open where they are exposed to heat and humidity.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2 - rather than fool around with the albums, just places his coins in a sealed plastic box and then injects into that box the very same gases that are put off by the albums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now both sets of coins are toned by the very same gases. Both sets of coins are toned intentionally. But yet you say that set #2 is AT and that set #1 is NT. Why ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I truly fail to see any difference. It&#039;s the gases put off by the album doing the toning. Would it matter if that album, without any coins in it, were stored in a sealed box so as to allow the gases put off by the album to be captured. Then those gases piped over to another sealed box containing coins so as to tone them. Would those coins then be AT ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you see my point Mark ? There really <u>isn&#039;t</u> any difference between the two. So if one has to be called AT, then the other must also be called AT for there is no place else that the line can be drawn.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t say that he was.
