<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 4249188, member: 4920&quot;]Yes, OK. Let me see if I can restate it. You’re saying “intent” is still the criteria most would say they’re still using to differentiate the two. If that’s correct, I finally, after all these years, and threads upon threads of discussions, cracked the code, if you will, of where you’re at on this issue. And if that’s the case, then, FWIW, I certainly think that’s how those who continue to live and die by these arbitrary distinctions think they’re differentiating them, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ll say this, also. Even if I saw someone tone a blast white coin to rainbow in five seconds, I wouldn’t hold that against the technical grade. If the process impaired luster in the five seconds, that takes it down. If it’s so much impairment, I may even judge the coin “cleaned” and not grade-worthy. But not for the toning, but the impairment of the luster. As regards the toning, that’s a market thing, and I can see it going to that grade, i.e., the “market grade,” either up or down, based on its appeal to these here eyeballs. And that’s me on this whole issue, Doug, in a nut.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
