<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maryelise8863, post: 1299668, member: 33946&quot;]I came across this VERY long thread in another Coin Talk thread, about artificial toning, and a guy who got caught doing it...to PCGS slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=535409&amp;highlight_key=y" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=535409&amp;highlight_key=y" rel="nofollow">http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&amp;threadid=535409&amp;highlight_key=y</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I have been reading...and reading...and reading... I know some of you have been around these forums for a long time, and I humbly request you tell me what happened! I beg of you, since I don&#039;t want to further extend a thread that&#039;s at least five years old and 40 pages long.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Please confirm: Did the guy actually AT the coins while they were in the slab?</p><p>2. Did anyone ever find out how he did it? This would, after all, make him the Frank Abagnale of coins.</p><p>3. Was there any legal action; e.g., by PCGS? Considering the above, I find it hard to believe there wouldn&#039;t have been.</p><p>4. Are there any articles elsewhere online that I can read about this?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am simply curious and really want to close the loop on my curiosity. I have no interest in learning how to tone coins...other than to avoid AT and being a victim of fraud myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p>maryelise8863[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
