<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 940386, member: 15309"]If you mean my "strange", artificial, then yes it is. The problem with toned ASE's is that the coins start with no numismatic value. Their value is purely intrinsic so they are the perfect choice for a coin doctor. The coins are plentiful and if the experiment goes bad the coin doctor can simply dip the coin and move on having experienced absolutely no financial risk. On the other hand, if they can produce a questionably toned coin that would bring even a modest premium, they have already made a profit. The proposition of AT'ing ASE's is a win-win scenario for a coin doctor. Because of this, every toned ASE should be heavily scrutinized by potential buyers. IMO, buying toned ASE's for premium prices is more dangerous than the toned Peace Dollar market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
