<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 2864162, member: 87737&quot;]It makes me wonder. If new numismatists are buying these, it&#039;s probably because they like the look. If that&#039;s the case, is it possible that as time goes by, let&#039;s say 20-30 years from now, AT coins will be accepted? I know a percentage of those buyers will have a change of heart on their liking of the coin as they learn the difference between AT and NT, but there will be many that are buying these because they like them, and don&#039;t care if they&#039;re AT or NT. Which makes me think that down the road, these may be as sought after as NT&#039;s are now. In a way, the AT&#039;d coins tend to have a &#039;cleaner&#039; look to the coloring (none of that brown spottiness), and they tend to come in pretty neons and pastels. </p><p><br /></p><p>A novice is only a novice for a certain time frame, and then they become intermediate collectors, and as intermediates, they still may like and seek out these types just because it has the eye appeal they like. </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, it wasn&#039;t that long ago people would clean the heck out of their coins because they were tarnished (aka toned), but now, that same &#039;tarnish&#039; commands a high premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said.... just wondering.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
