<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1090038, member: 112"]Ya think ? Then lemme ask you this. Is it AT for a person to take a coin, raw or slabbed, place it in a controled sealed box with controled temperature and humidity, and pump a mixture of gasses into that box that he knows will cause the coin to tone in attractive colors ? Is that AT ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't see any way you can answer that question with anything but yes.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, placing coins in albums that you know will cause toning, purely for the purpose of achieving that toning, is no different than putting the coins in that box. Both actions will achieve the desired results. Yeah, one takes longer than the other, but both methods are also identical in cause and effect. Both methods are utilizing the effects of temperature, humidity, and the very same gasses to tone coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So how is one any different than the other ?
