[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1625745, member: 112"]Depends on the person answering the question Mike. But my guess is that most cannot get past that at all. Why ? Because it makes them feel better. Yes, absolutely. My question has always been - if you can't tell, then does it matter ? Most people will most emphatically answer that yes it definitely matters ! And the ones that will be the most emphatic about it will be the ones who will swear they CAN tell. But the reality is they can't, nobody can. And since you can't tell, the only possible answer to my question is - no, it doesn't matter. But it makes them feel better, and people like things that make them feel better. It's kind of the same thing as it is with cleaning coins. I'd hate to hazard a guess at how many collectors ask - how can I clean these coins ? To them, the coins are dirty, grungy - pick your term. And they are just absolutely convinced that the coins would look better if they could only clean them. And they will try everything under the sun to clean them. Why ? Because it makes them fell better - about their coins. Same thing with toning. If they can even "think" it's NT, it makes them feel better.[/QUOTE]
