<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1089060, member: 15199"]Rusty, I do understand what you are saying, but until there is a reliable, accurate, and repeatable test, rather than relying on someone's word that it has been in their hands since it was blast white, or believing they somehow have an "other world" power to "KNOW" that a coin is NT rather than AT, then there are not apples and oranges, just fruit. I wish there was a test, but I don't forsee one. I have argued many times with people who say "Trust my coins as I can tell AT from NT". Maybe they really think they can, but they can't prove it , nor can anyone disprove it. TPG have more funds and lab equipment than any of us, but I don't expect them to say they can tell even 90% of the time, let alone 100%. Yes, they can do laser and spectroscopic plots and analysis and tell physically altered coins ( especially if they have already done it once in a past submission), but chemical is chemical. IMO.</p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
