<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 606012, member: 15309&quot;]With all due respect, you have completely missed the point.&nbsp; If the practice of artificially toning a coin was accepted, there would be no fraud.&nbsp; In the end, the oxidation layers on an AT coin are the same composition as those on an NT coin.&nbsp; The only difference is how the oxidation layers formed and how fast they formed.&nbsp; If you can&#039;t tell the difference between the two by sight, why should the origin of the toning matter.&nbsp; If that was the view of the Numismatic world, the practice of artificially toning a coin would not be fraud because it would be accepted.&nbsp; There would be no intent to fool anyone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
