[QUOTE="SlipperySocks, post: 3234843, member: 94585"]I have to disagree with that scale, based upon this album I recently purchased. In it you will see every version of the scale with the exception of the coins represented above Artificial and Borderline. When discussing intentions consider this; Nowadays we know albums will tone coins and may use them for that purpose but, did collectors 30-50 years ago put their coins in albums to protect them or to tone them? Toning used to be considered a negative thing but today can bring a premium. So are these coins(in this album) NT or AT? In my opinion these are NT as I would consider any coin toned in an album, bag or roll that did not have a chemical or gas applied, or conditions like humidity and heat manipulated to accelerate changes. I purchased this from the grandchild of the assembler who said he was adding coins to it as far back as his childhood memory would go.
