<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1091033, member: 15309&quot;]The quintessential Doug returns.&nbsp; As soon as you see yourself losing the argument, you just declare yourself the winner and claim that my points have not logic because I am trying to prove &quot;the great and powerful&quot; Doug wrong.&nbsp; You really are the guy hiding behind the curtain aren&#039;t you?&nbsp; Bag toned Morgans are naturally toned and they took decades to achieve such toning.&nbsp; A far cry from some guy sticking his proof sets in a hot attic for a few months or years.&nbsp; If you are so confident that you are right Doug, then post a poll asking the readers of this forum who they think is right!&nbsp; You will get the toning haters to vote for you and that is about it.&nbsp; The fact is that your opinion is not accepted by the numismatic community.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What the TPG&#039;s do regarding toning is the best solution to the problem.&nbsp; It is certainly better than yours which is you can&#039;t prove it so why try!&nbsp; If the TPG&#039;s made a decision that was inconsistent with the views of the mainstream views of the numismatic community, you would hear about and the policy would quickly change.&nbsp; You make the TPG&#039;s out to be the dictators of the numismatic world when in fact they are simple politicians. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can&#039;t prove your opinion that there are more AT coins in TPG slabs than I could disprove it.&nbsp; Are there AT coins in TPG slabs?&nbsp; Yes, there certainly are!&nbsp; Is it on the order of 50% like medoraman would like us to believe?&nbsp; I severely doubt it!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes Doug, it is the subjectivity that bothers you.&nbsp; Market acceptability does not attempt to classify a coin as AT or NT, it simply gives you a confidence level that it is one or the other.&nbsp; The only acceptable confidence level for you is 100% while the rest of the numismatic world is willing to accept 90%/80%/70% etc.&nbsp; For those that want you to believe it is not subjective, ignore them.&nbsp; Most seasoned collectors understand the subjectivity in grading including the AT/NT/MA aspect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
