<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2118957, member: 15309&quot;]Kurt, your logic is sound.&nbsp; There is absolutely no way to determine intent with regards to toning.&nbsp; When grading coins, all you have to go on is what you see with your own two eyes.&nbsp; So in essence, the determination of artificial versus natural is always going to be an educated guess.&nbsp; Feel free to read my post from the thread linked below for a more in depth explanation of the subject.&nbsp; I will post the photos here though.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/techniques-for-artificially-toning-a-coin.242810/page-3#post-1868628" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/techniques-for-artificially-toning-a-coin.242810/page-3#post-1868628">Techniques for artificially toning a coin</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi117.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo59%2FACPitBoss%2FJefferson%2520Nickels%2520Raw%2FToningScale.jpg&amp;hash=c8d40a96b1738be57bfb64dbfbd9a198" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi117.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo59%2FACPitBoss%2FJefferson%2520Nickels%2520Raw%2FToningScaleFirst.jpg&amp;hash=24710a38d28ded1fea2341bd092f3d9d" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi117.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo59%2FACPitBoss%2FJefferson%2520Nickels%2520Raw%2FToningScaleLast.jpg&amp;hash=4966b4133493a8ae7191dadc9785728a" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is my opinion that for the most part, both PCGS and NGC do a very good job with their educated guesses.&nbsp; I will admit that ASEs are definitely one of their worst series with respect to consistency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
