Why don't we use terms like "Intentional Toning"? Why do we argue intent?

<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1625633, member: 15309"]I would say that you have come to the same conclusion that the TPG's have come to after the same such consideration. The only difference is that your proposed vernacular is dangerous to your cause. If you are going to include the word "intent" in your description, you are sure to perpetuate the debate about how the toning formed. I like the current system and terminology employed by the TPG's. They use the terms "questionable toning" and "market acceptable." These terms achieve two things. First, they eliminate the responsibility of the the graders to have to determine intent which is impossible. Second, it simply classifies toned coins as either a problem coin (questionably toned) or a grade worthy coin (market acceptable). Now the critics of this system will argue that it will occasionally relegate coins that were not intentionally toned in the questionably toned category and some intentionally toned coins will be deemed market acceptable. And while I agree, I believe the current system best classifies the largest number of coins correctly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
