<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1574219, member: 4626&quot;]Er PCGS, NGC, and ANACS will all give details grades on problem coins, included artificially toned ones, so don&#039;t know what you&#039;re all thinking when you say TPGs won&#039;t slab them.&nbsp; Think your information is out of date.&nbsp; Heck there&#039;s another thread on the front page that shows an NGC slab that notes &quot;artificial toning.&quot;&nbsp; You can tell the TPG to just not slab it if it&#039;s a problem coin, but all 3 will slab it and note the problem if you ask them to.&nbsp; (NGC was the first to do this I think; eventually ANACS and even PCGS adopted this policy too.&nbsp; The only thing they refuse to slab are coins they don&#039;t believe to be authentic.) </p><p><br /></p><p>And this may or may not be artificially toned anyway.&nbsp; (Never figured out how one determines that as the same chemical processes can happen naturally as would cause a coin to tone artificially.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t honestly say whether the toning is artificial or not (natural toning can sometimes look this way, depends how it was stored and in what chemical environment); my guess is this coin would either come back MS 66, or UNC Details - Artificial Toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s artificially toned and you intend on selling it you&#039;d almost be better off not slabbing it; it would be easier to sell raw in that case.&nbsp; There are plenty of people who would want it anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
