<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EyeEatWheaties, post: 975609, member: 26972&quot;]YAY!!!&nbsp; Finally - I found a smart guy... You sir are officially my new hero.&nbsp; Stay true to your course. While I question your method and results. I think it is a smart idea. I am assuming that this product is to be used on copper coins that have already been cleaned or dipped ?</p><p><br /></p><p>AT vs NT is such funny debate in my eyes.&nbsp; The only difference between the two is amount of time and or concentration that a coin is exposed to. Certainly everyone knows that the colors that you see on any toned coin is produced from a reaction of the metal in the coin and whatever/whichever &quot;contaminant(s)&quot; it was exposed to?&nbsp;&nbsp; While it is argued that NT produces a more appealing coin - that clearly falls under the category that &quot;<i>Beauty is in the eye of the beholder</i>&quot;&nbsp; Frankly I wish all coins were proof like.&nbsp; I think a whizzed coin is really pretty.&nbsp; Am I right or wrong?&nbsp; Neither!&nbsp; What I like to collect is all that matters. BTW - I am an avid collector of cleaned/dipped pennies.&nbsp; I pay good money for them. I want them, I like them, I search for them.&nbsp; It&#039;s what I collect. Call me weird, I don&#039;t care!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO this whole issue is driven by TPG services who will say that a dipped, cleaned, altered surface, damaged, scratched coin has no value.&nbsp; I think that is silly.&nbsp; Why do they put a value on circulated coins?&nbsp; What is the difference?&nbsp; None IMO.&nbsp; An AT coin is a circulated coin albeit maybe circulated in a fumigated jar of hydrogen sulfide! Circulated none the less.&nbsp; Coins should be graded for their details - plus notes, There is no difference in a coin exposed to Sulfur over 20 years or 20 seconds.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a newbie&nbsp; here..&nbsp; I seem to remember seeing somewhere that this forum doesn&#039;t automatically size pics.&nbsp; Guess I gotta learn somewhere.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hey GoodThad, here is my Naturally Toned (on my desk) 1921 Lincoln.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z242/papasteeze/Coins/1921Lincolntoned.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
