<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1017759, member: 15309&quot;]Well I have a BS in Materials Science &amp; Engineering (Metallurgy) from Lehigh University with a focus on corrosion and I still can&#039;t answer most of your expert level questions because precious metals are not usually used in engineering applications.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, your definition of expert is fine, but IMO, not applicable.&nbsp; A scientist may be able to explain the chemistry behind thin film interfaces but I am much more interested in the opinion of the guy who understands how to evaluate a toned coin and it&#039;s value in the marketplace (Shane).&nbsp; Everyone needs to stop getting hung up on the term expert and realize that some people have a level of expertise that allows them to speak authoritatively on an issue despite the fact they may not meet the strict definition of an expert.&nbsp; Like I said before, if someone on this forum had a question about a toned coin, I would point them in Shane&#039;s direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think of it this way everybody.&nbsp; When a member posts a thread about toning, which non-expert members do you wait to hear from?&nbsp; Be honest![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
