<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 4574605, member: 15309&quot;]Artificial toning was originally a coin doctor&#039;s method of hiding flaws such as marks, hairlines, old cleanings.&nbsp; It was done mostly to improve the overall grade of the coin.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until the late 90&#039;s that people started paying huge premiums for rainbow toned coins and the coin doctors started to attempt to replicate rainbow toning in order to generate a toning premium for exceptional eye appeal.&nbsp; At that point, the original method of artificial toning became known as Type1 AT and ATing coins for a toning premium took the moniker Type2 AT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
