<< <i>PawPaul...I definitely see your points made and i never said that there isn`t a problem with AT coins getting into holders...I for one think that PCGS is making the right moves to combat it...I also can understand that pics of so called very good AT jobs aren`t and can`t be posted for several reason`s... I`m not born yesterday! But i am saying that i can tell the difference...I definitely aren`t ignoring the problem and going on my merry way and buying any toned Morgan that is for sale...I carefully and methodically make sure of a certain look and colors that all NT bag Morgans possess...As far as RickO goes i have always respected and admired his preference in the types of coins that he enjoys to collect and have found his posts to be solid and well spoken but where i had an abrupt change of heart is when he claims that mint bag toned Morgans can be easily duplicated...He admits his experiments looked awful but then goes on to say with practice it could be perfected...How can someone say that? That is so reaching and to me duplicating means to me that someone could manufacture toning exactly like the MONSTERS that i collect... I take that as a direct insult to me and my Morgans and the good people that i have dealt with for years...See to me that statement is insinuating that my Morgans because most are bag toned could be AT simply because there are problem coins out there...I will say this as well...I have been on this forum approx. a year now and have enjoyed it very much but when i see statements such as that which especially can not be proven (Because IE it will let the cat at of the bag and show the world what masters they are and how great their ATing jobs are there for exposing there great abilities in fooling everyone! HA HA!) and snide remarks it takes all the fun out of this place. On this one i will keep my firm stance that i can differentiate even the very good AT jobs and i also believe that the TGP`s especially PCGS are doing an awesome job on removing them from the market place...Like i have said on other days i hope in my lifetime i see the AT problem for the most part gone... Anyway i`ll get off my soap box now...

YOU GO A.B.-----I too have been purchasing Monster Toned Morgan's for several years now and can tell the differance of AT and NT coins either in hand or from a good closeup picture of the coins in question- I too resent the implications on this thread--the coin doctor's can not fool me-
