<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3233730, member: 15309&quot;]Bowers does not share your paranoia about AT coins.&nbsp; If you have a quote from him then post it.&nbsp; For now, I will post two quotes on the subject from his <i><b>The Expert&#039;s Guide to Collecting &amp; Investing IN RARE COINS.</b></i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This quote clearly shows that Bowers is aware that coins can develop rainbow toning worthy of a premium naturally and even describes the storage methods that cause such an effect.&nbsp; He goes on to discuss artificial toning in the following paragraph.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They key sentences are the last two highlighted in blue.&nbsp; Everyone understands that there are AT and NT coins out there.&nbsp; You seem to be of the opinion that any rainbow toned coin (other than Morgans) fall into the AT category.&nbsp; Bowers and the rest of us recognize that NT coins exist across all series, that they are indeed worthy of premium prices, and that what is important is separating AT from NT.&nbsp; In the second to last sentence he advises that before purchasing a rainbow toned coin to have it reviewed by someone you trust.&nbsp; I submit to you that the TPGs fall into that category.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for your snarky comment about my inventory, why don&#039;t you take a look at it.&nbsp; I currently have 22 coins for sale and I have only described 4 of the 22 as rainbow toned.&nbsp; Of those 4, only one (the Appalachian Jefferson) could ever be credibly accused of being questionably toned.&nbsp; That said, you should definitely believe Bowers over me, but in this instance, you need to recognize that Bowers and I are saying the same thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
