<p>[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 995214, member: 26972"]So if I i was transferred from Arizona to an area say, an hour south of Pittsburgh along with my extensive mint state silver collection to a drafty old farm house and a year later all my coins were blue and purple, would it be NT? Did I move intentionally? LOL!!!! What if my collection was in a room with a leaky old coal furnace, and the colors appeared in a month? What if I just put them in a chamber, an burned some sulfur and in minutes got toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO All of the examples above are Natural or Unnatural, take your pick. I still contend that there is no difference AT vs NT except time and no one, no one that i have ever read, has ever defined the duration that separates AT and NT. because there is no standard. </p><p><br /></p><p>What is that they say. grading is an art? To each his own... Color them coins if that is what you like.
