<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 170105, member: 112&quot;]A few years ago that probably never would have happened. But a few years ago toned coins were not exactly as popular as they are today, nor were they bringing outrageous prices as they often do today. And a few years ago there were not coin doctors around every corner artificially toning coins so they could bilk unknowing collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today, NGC and PCGS both will often return toned coins as AT. That doesn&#039;t always mean the coin is AT, it just means they are not 100% sure it isn&#039;t. So if there is any doubt at all in the mind of the grader, they are instructed to body bag the coin. They just feel it is better err on the side of caution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
