True enough Ben, using heat (or chemicals) to create artificial toning is a big problem. Many examples have gotten by the TPG's... there's something in common with cards - undetected doctoring. I firmly believe whether you buy a vintage baseball card or an old coin, you need to examine it for yourself under magnification.
