<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3994008, member: 112"]The only difference there is between AT and NT is intent. Regardless of method, if somebody does something, anything, to deliberately cause a coin to tone then it's AT by definition. If a coin tones accidentally, with no intentional intervention of causing toning then it's NT. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the speed at which the toning occurs makes no difference either. All coins tone, and they begin toning the moment they are struck. After that the speed at which they tone is determined by the environmental variables involved in each specific case. And the number of those variables, and the effect they have, is nearly infinite. Toning can take decades to occur naturally, or it can occur naturally in a few weeks, or it can be done intentionally in a few hours. And there is absolutely no way that anyone can ever definitively tell one from the other. The very best anyone can ever do is to guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
