<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1598931, member: 4626"]You could always try anyway. NT vs. AT is so subjective that you could send the same coin in, to the same TPG, and even the same grader, and have it come back NT one day and AT the next. The distinction is extremely subjective because there is no set standard as to what constitutes artificial toning (despite what some people claim, there's really no way to tell even if you did try to set a standard). Even the concept of "market acceptability" is very subjective and can change based on the day of the week or what the grader had for breakfast.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even if the TPG calls it artificial toning you could probably find someone willing to buy it anyway. (Break it out though; problem slabs are harder to sell than raw coins. A buyer might decide they like a "problem" coin anyway, but not when it's blatantly labelled as one.) I'm not a huge fan of toning myself but I concede that many are and people have different tastes in this regard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
