When to use Artificial Toning Screen

Use this tool to summarize caller-observed indicators for artificial toning screen without treating the result as conclusive.

Prepare documented records or observations for the specific coin or issue context. Enter the required labels, reference table or evidence flags and retain the supporting catalog and examination notes for interpretation.

How to use Artificial Toning Screen and understand its results

  1. Prepare documented records or observations for the specific coin or issue context. Enter the required labels, reference table or evidence flags and retain the supporting catalog and examination notes for interpretation.
  2. Enter abruptColorBands, recessMismatch, heatExposure, chemicalResidue using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
  3. Read indicatorCount, indicators, riskLevel. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
  4. If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
Input fieldMeaningValue type; see rules belowRequirement
abruptColorBandsAbrupt color bandsbooleanRequired
recessMismatchColor inconsistent in recessesbooleanRequired
heatExposureKnown heat exposurebooleanRequired
chemicalResidueChemical residuebooleanRequired

Set each observation flag according to available evidence. Count true flags equally; return count, their field IDs in configuration order and riskLevel. Two or more flags produce high, one caution and zero none.

indicatorCount=number of true flags; 0→none, 1→caution, 2–4→high

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Limitations and assumptions

It does not establish natural or artificial origin, authenticity, value or provenance. Observation quality and alternative causes require separate examination.

Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
