<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 7809339, member: 74282&quot;]I trust my own resources and abilities a lot more than NGC <i>for the coins I collect and specialize in</i>(and it would be impossible to build a collection like mine buying pre-slabbed coins, but that&#039;s a different discussion) but as far as ugly toning, as AJ points out, that&#039;s possible in slabs too. I&#039;ve seen reports of bronzes having bronze disease progress in slabs so I have no reason to doubt that ugly toning could occur too.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I&#039;m not particularly worried about toning developing. Some of my coins do exhibit toning especially those that have been sitting in my envelopes and trays for years. It&#039;s something that naturally happens to silver for the most part and I personally quite like what has developed on my coins. All things being equal I&#039;d much rather have a toned coin than one that&#039;s blast white, and on top of that a lot of my coins have 20+ year provenance so they already have some amount of toning when I get them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
