<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 2727019, member: 86305&quot;]Good question since I understand the TPGs are not real adept at differentiating between AT and real toning.&nbsp; I think you have to view toned coins like art.&nbsp; If you like it buy it and enjoy it, if not pass.&nbsp; I very rarely purchase one out of a slab because trying to get PCGS to consistently grade one is tough.</p><p><br /></p><p>This beauty cost me a lot but it became a point of pride to try and get it graded something other than an N grade at PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.1881o.com/81168198_tone.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.1881o.com/81168198_tone.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.1881o.com/81168198_tone.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Its journey was to PCGS and back in an N grade slab.&nbsp; To ANACS where it graded.&nbsp; Back to PCGS as a crossover where it N graded.&nbsp; Cracked out to NGC where it graded.&nbsp; Back to PCGS where it N graded.&nbsp; So with nothing to lose I cleaned it, dipped it, soaked it, and sent it back to PCGS where it graded an MS63.&nbsp; Some things you do for fun not money!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
