<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1090276, member: 26302"]Just throwing this out there, but how does anyone know what percentage of "album toning" that is "good" is really from old albums? You state that either every AT must be so good as to fool everyone, or there are almost no good AT out there. You are making the assumption that coins you call NT are all natural, and you can easily tell the crappy AT coins, (which I agree with you Lehigh you are good at). But, how do we know that half of all of the coins we THINK is NT is, in fact, not from a ATer? You state by your reasoning that we are sure, but we are not. I do not see any logic that proves one way or another what percentage of "good" toning is in fact the result of decades of storage in a bag or album. I have seen tons of "good" toning, a lot of it from original albums and bags, but quite a bit from "other sources". I could not tell the difference, unless the coin was first dipped, or damaged in some way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe its just too late in the day for me to follow the logic, I am not trying to start another war over it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
