<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tonedcoins, post: 1218160, member: 25155&quot;]Not only lazy but just plain ole&#039; greedy to make a buck fast. See, what bothers me now a little more than these pathetic docs are the buyers. Why? Well because many say they buy for &quot;investment&quot;. Not knowing (obviousely) what an investment is because if they did, they would research and try very hard to educate themselves on what they are &quot;investing&quot; in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Medoraman, I know what you mean buddy. As a matter of fact, there were &quot;better looking&quot; AT coins a couple of years back. Although they (IMO) are all coin damage and I sure don&#039;t like damaging ANY coin because they to me represent history, uniqueness, rarity and something made here that will never be made again. As more of these coins get destroyed this way, the harder and rarer they become, taking away the collecting opportunity (again IMO) from new and young numismatists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the coins or links posted are to show you that they are easily identifiable as ATed coins. In AT coins which had their toning agent applied via gas or&nbsp; liquid, the toning is going to run over the letters and design elements.&nbsp; If something is applied via gas or liquid it can not discriminate&nbsp; between the raised and recess areas of the coin - it is going to apply&nbsp; evenly.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, thanks badthad <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Still learning with only a couple of years studying and collecting these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
