<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 487766, member: 15309&quot;]Eddie,</p><p><br /></p><p>Where do you see that I have posted that I think the coin is either AT or NT.&nbsp; I simply posted a guess the grade for the coin.&nbsp; And we all know that I am very tolerant of AT coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>The TPG&#039;s don&#039;t know the provenance, storage methods, or history of most of the coins they grade.&nbsp; How can we expect them to accurately weed out the coins that were intentionally toned versus those that were the result of time and improper storage.&nbsp; At this point the TPG&#039;s know this as well and don&#039;t proclaim slabbed coinage toning either NT or AT.&nbsp; If they slab the coin, they are simply proclaiming the toning to be market acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as setting a trap, well you have me there.&nbsp; I knew that members would proclaim this coin AT.&nbsp; I just wanted more explanation for their opinions.&nbsp; However, sometimes &quot;it just doesn&#039;t look right to me&quot; is a very adequate justification for AT.&nbsp; You can&#039;t pinpoint why, but the coin just doesn&#039;t look right based on the thousands of other toned coins you have seen in that series.&nbsp; I fully accept Zaneman&#039;s reason for proclaiming the coin AT and his supporting reasons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
