<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1419612, member: 15309"]It depends on your definition of AT. Doug uses the philosophy that intent is the deciding factor in the debate. By that definition, improper storage would not relegate a coin to AT status. However, intent can never be determined by the viewer, therefore it is impossible to use intent as the deciding factor when grading a coin. The TPG's use the idea of market acceptability. They know they can't prove AT or NT so they simply decide which toned coins are market acceptable at the time of grading. Anything that is rejected for questionable toning is considered a problem coin. IMO, that is exactly where coins with absurd toning that results from improper storage belong. They are lumped in with the obvious AT coins and all are considered questionably toned coins. This is the mentality employed by the TPG's and one that is supported by many collectors, including me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
