<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1504511, member: 26302"]To clarify, if, (and its not as easy as some may think), a doctor replicates the manner in which NT coins tone to begin with, is it AT at all, or just NT that someone intentionally allowed to happen? This is the type of AT/NT boundary Doug is referring to. Yes, TPG are pretty good now at throwing out burn jobs and chemically applied toning, and toned coin collectors can take some comfort in that. However, since toning is a chemical process, IF someone knew it well enough and controlled it well enough then is it really AT or just NT on purpose versus accidental? Its similar to arguments about fakes, if someone produces a fake so good no one can ever tell its a fake, is it still a fake?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
