<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1202315, member: 26302&quot;]Well put. I would add grading is similarly just an opinion, but one in which concrete evidence is present, and has a much more narrow error percentage, (though they use their OWN standards, which is not discussed much with beginners).</p><p><br /></p><p>Toning is such a troublesome subject since it is unprovable. I have seen NT by me, (I put the coin away BU white), that others here would swear was AT. I am talking vivid greens and pinks. I have also seen in person AT done on a problem coin that I would have bought from a dealer 100 times over as a NT coin. There is no proving it, and as such I wish the TPGers would just stay out of it, and make no judgments as to color. Them providing a &quot;protection&quot; that a coin is NT just further inflates a market and encourages people to ruin white coins with AT to try to get them slabbed and &quot;verified&quot;. I truly do feel bad for all of the white coins being ruined today. Take away any kind of guarantee associtted with color in slabbing, and I think the multiples will decline and less people would be wanting to AT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
