[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 979391, member: 112"]The answer to why is money. People do it because they believe it will allow them to sell the coin for more money than they could have otherwise. As for the TPG's - you have to realize that TPG attitudes on color have changed several times over the years. Just because a coin is in a regular slab that does not mean that the coin is NT. It merely means that at the time that the coin was slabbed the TPG considered that particular toning to be market acceptable. You could take that same coin, crack it out, and submit it a year or two late and have it placed in a Genuine holder because at that particular time that toning was not market acceptable. The issue over toning and TPGs is just as bad as the issue over grading and TPGs. The TPGs are constantly proving that they change their standards on toning all the time. Read any forum to see this. And yet people refuse to believe that the same thing applies to grading. I mean open your eyes people - the evidence is right there in front of you. All you have to do is see it.[/QUOTE]
