I dislike the terms AT and NT. AT can look like NT, and with toning, if it looks like NT it IS NT. "Forced toning" is really what many people mean by AT, and it can be done poorly or pretty well. The reason I do not like 3 is the uniform one color. Very hard to find a NT coin like that. Way too many people, when they force toning, do it too quickly with the result being way too uniform coloring and shade. NT usually has little microcosms of activity, leading to variablity. This doesn't happen when forced too quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like your post OP, I beleive its a terrific educational tool. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
