<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1417474, member: 26302&quot;]Again, sorry you believe that way sir. I paid some premiums for my coins, but don&#039;t collect US anymore so seriously do not care what happens to premiums. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I am afraid of AT. I say this because if someone REALLY knows what they are doing, I have seen it done and I would have bought the resulting coins if I didn&#039;t know about it. No, its not easy at all if you don&#039;t know all of the tricks, and you can see that in a lot of the garbage for sale. I am not trying to pile on in an anti-toning thread, but many times such threads are only positive about toning. I admit your message has been consistent about toning, but you must admit mine has been as well. I am not claiming it is being done, will admit much of what you see is really BAD At, but that is the point. If someone does it well, there is no way anyone here can point it out as AT. One sided, ring toning, spotted toning, envelope toning, can all be forced. WHat cannot be forced is lustrous original surfaces. </p><p><br /></p><p>After I saw what I saw, I took 10 times the amount of time evaluating a toned coin as i did before, making sure the surfaces were perfect. If others do the same, and are buying a coin with original lustrous surfaces, I could care less what they pay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
