Market Acceptable or Not Market Acceptable........It's really as simple as that. Regardless of how the coin recieved it's color, the coin will either be accepted or it wont. Even when PCGS bags a coin for color, they don't come right out and say "Artificially Toned". Instead they use about the greyest term they can; "Questionable Color." That's not very difinitive if you ask me.
You can bet there are doctors out there "making" coins that are getting into slabs on a regular basis. These coins are obviously "good enough" and are therefor market acceptable.
The nice thing about a term like MA or NMA, is there is room for change. Right now, the Battle Creek Morgans are MA. Let's say that information in the future comes out that all of these coins were "made." Now they would become NMA.

Ya think?

Perhaps "good enough" for some that either don't care, or can't tell the difference. And surely the services never just flat out make mistakes that end up being "good enough."
I'm done here, I commented and that's all I care to do. No long debate, no proving anything. No proving any credentials etc. etc.

Through their lack of knowledge, the term 'market acceptable' was born by the herds of lemmings who require a simple phrase to explain what they don't understand and probably never will.

So are you saying that you've never been fooled by a coin that was AT? Or what I see as an even bigger travesty is a coin that is NT and get's bodybagged because some TP grader is not willing to stake his or the companie's reputation on a coin, when it's much easier to forever taint the coin for some collector who thought they had found a gem. I just love it when people on these forums have an oppinion that they try to pass off on everyone else as the gospel truth, whether it be about toning or ASE being sold out long ago.
How is this for understanding........
There are only two types of COLORFUL toning; That which brings a premium when sold, and that which causes a coin to be discounted when sold.

If he says yes, then that means he knows when he's been fooled which, of course, he can't claim.
