<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1751077, member: 15309&quot;]The scale I created was simply meant to be an example for Jefferson Nickels. Since each series has it&#039;s own unique toning characteristics, it would be very labor intensive to create such a scale for every series of coin. I once tried a thread to discuss toning premiums and it was basically a nightmare. Creating a thread to classify/partition toned coins would be an epic fail in my estimation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reason why the acceptable examples are book toned, is because that is how almost all Jefferson Nickels develop their toning. And while you say that it is very very easy to mass produce album toned Jefferson Nickels quickly, their scarcity in the market place contradicts your assertion. Everyone seems to think that if you place your coins in a Dansco, leave it in a room without air conditioning, and wait a year, that you will end up with a book full of fantastically rainbow toned coins. That just isn&#039;t reality. Most album toned coins end up with some simple brown/russet toning on the peripheries. Furthermore, while using intent might seem like a good idea to delineate AT from NT, it can&#039;t ever be proven and is therefore a useless endeavor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While some of the coins you have posted have hit some of the other categories, the majority of what I have seen you post have been obvious AT dreck. I can&#039;t count how many times I have viewed one of your posts and subsequently contorted my face in pain. And while nobody else is classifying their coins, I submit that everyone else thinks they are posting NT/MA coins. To my knowledge, you are the only person who is purposefully posting AT coins in this thread.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So while you have the right to post whatever you want, you should not be surprised by a certain level of pushback and hostility thrown your way when you continually post a bunch of AT crap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
