<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3234137, member: 46237"][USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] I don't like the term artificial toning. Artificial toning is toning that isn't real, and that's not what we're seeing. Sometimes the TPGs will slab coins as AT that the submitter knows positively has naturally toned. Likewise if you submit a coin with artificial negative toning they would probably straight grade it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really the correct terminology is market acceptable toning or not market acceptable toning. That's really what this comes down to, and it differs greatly by series. Market acceptable toning for an ASE would get marked as AT every single time if it was on classic coinage, for example, since many series have a distinctive look for how they tone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
