<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quarter-back, post: 1978790, member: 47022&quot;]Interesting site. The author appears to have extensive knowledge.&nbsp; However, he brings up a couple of issues that seem unresolvable. </p><p><br /></p><p>First, he says that one way to differentiate NT from AT is by knowing the history of the coin.&nbsp; I have seen any number of toned coins for which the owner states that the coin &quot;has been in the family for three generations&quot;, or some variation, but the majority of the time, these these are considered to be &quot;exactly the type of thing an ATer would say&quot;. What exactly would be considered reasonable and acceptable evidence? </p><p><br /></p><p>Second, he suggests examining slabbed examples of acceptable toning, but then states that there are a lot of AT coins in slabs. If the exemplars are unreliable, how can one learn from them?&nbsp; I know one response will be a variant of &quot;study thousands of coins and you will learn&quot;. But I would assume the TPG graders have done exactly that, and even they still can&#039;t reliably ID an AT coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
