<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1751062, member: 17555&quot;]Yes, I recall this work.&nbsp; I admire this piece of good work you created here Lehigh.&nbsp; It is a step in the right direction however the singluar sample under each partition is not adequate imo.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m unsure if you intended this scale to be applied to nic&#039;s only, or across all denominations and series.&nbsp; My guess is that it was for nic&#039;s only.&nbsp; It would be really cool to create a thread in which we could all post and then partition a coin into one of the catagories to build subject matter that can be employed to &#039;teach people about toning&#039;... this work is good, but incomplete imo.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The only think I don&#039;t like about it is that the three &quot;acceptable&quot; samples are all book toned and can be mass produced, and are mass produced, very very easily and fast.&nbsp; So essentially you created one of the most easily AT&#039;ed patterns and called it MA.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe there a nuiances within the pattern that serve as &#039;tells&#039;..?</p><p>&nbsp;That said... I would also agree that there are equally many NT nic&#039;s out there from books with these patterns.&nbsp; The deliniation&nbsp; I use between AT and NT is intent.... Unfortunately, we all know why most ( or at least many ) people put coins in books... they are at least hoping for toning to occur as fast as possible... so AT ?... that&#039;s why we need to content under each partition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think I&#039;ve posted many coins in this thread that hit each of the samples you have here.. and as no one else is calling out or referring to this scale with each posted coin, so I don&#039;t either&nbsp;&nbsp; (I do think this it would be cool if everyone did however).&nbsp; Even the slabbed posted coins should could be rated.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to the purpose of the thread, I do not view it as a venue for teaching about toning.&nbsp; I have my opinions on the subject and leave it up to others to derive their own.&nbsp; &nbsp; You and Doug are better suited and more experienced than me.... I have always enjoyed your posts and comments,, both yours and Doug&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
