<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 412531, member: 112"]It is in fact at many times impossible. There are many cases where even the foremost experts in the field will tell you flat out that they cannot distinguish for certain if a coin is AT or NT. Yes, some coin doctors are that good. But that is why the TPG's do not define toning in many cases. What they choose to do instead is to say that the toning on a given coin is market acceptable. As long as a coin is found to be market accpetable it will be slabbed. But if it is not, it does not matter how natural the toning is, the coin will be body-bagged. There are absolutely cases of AT coins being slabbed and cases of 100% naturally toned coins being body-bagged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
