[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 995225, member: 112"]You miss the point Eye. What Jim is talking about is that sometimes the only thing that separates NT from AT is intent. Classic case example - a collector back in the '60s uses a Waite Raymond album to store his coins. Over the years the coins tone, some of them very nicely. This happened quite accidentally as the collector never knew it would happen. Now today - that old collector has passed on. His heirs sold all his stuff on ebay, including that old Waite Raymond album. Now a present day collector has heard all of the stories of nicely toned coins could be if they were stored in Waite Raymond albums - so he buys it. And then quite intentionally takes his coins, places them in the album and leaves it sit out in the house so that it is exposed to temperature changes and humidity. The coins tone very quickly just as the collector knew they would. So - are the coins owned by the present day collector AT or NT ?[/QUOTE]
