<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1905911, member: 26302&quot;]To me it just goes to what I have been saying, that people should ignore color and concentrate on surfaces. If you are saying, (which is what I am reading), that the entire coin market admits they are arbitrarily defining what is &quot;usual&quot; or &quot;acceptable&quot; with this definition having no basis in reality, (because like Doug has always said you cannot prove one way or the other), then I simply believe the entire market is flawed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just makes me sad to see a coin like this shunned by the hobby, a coin I believe could be original, (because I have seen personally similar coins I knew to be original). Yet, OTOH, I have seen &quot;acceptable&quot; toning applied within a couple of days to coins with my own eyes. &quot;Arbitrary and capricious&quot; I believe is how I would describe it legally.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw, no disrespect meant Paul. I think this simply boils down to our disagreement on this market. Maybe I have just been around too long to understand this market nowadays. I think I have demostrated I know what natural toning is, progression, etc. I have studied that more than you probably know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
