There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I'm near you

You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise and...

CHORUS:
Betcha by golly wow (wow) (wow)
You're the one that I've been waiting for... forever
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong
Keep growing strong

If I could, I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you so I know where you are
Paint a rainbow in your favorite shade
To show I love you, thinking of you

Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask, I'll try cuz...

REPEAT CHORUS

Betcha by golly!
You're the one, yes you are! (Don't you let 'em tell you otherwise)
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong!

Baby, sometime
A man can't find words to express all the things he feels inside
But every just so often
The words of another who's truly in love seem to work out fine

To say I love you (I love you)
To say I'm thinking of you!

REPEAT CHORUS

You're the one I'm thinking of, thinkin' of
Ever will my...
And ever will my love for you keep growing strong
Keep growing strong

I love you, baby

Gotta go with AT on that one.

poorguy · May 25, 2011 10:17AM

Looks AT to me. Blotchy blue, magenta, and burnt orange don't sit well with me.

TahoeDale · May 25, 2011 10:20AM

A circ coin that old will always indicate at least a dip, with this toning acceptable; and if not harshly cleaned, gradeable by the TPG's.

But Genuine would not surprise me.

PawPaul · May 25, 2011 10:20AM

.........it looks pretty odd

....so no idea about the real answer - but I would vote A.T

golden · May 25, 2011 10:25AM

I vote AT.

MikeInFL · May 25, 2011 10:26AM

That coloration reminds me of cleaned and retoned proofs from 50 year later.

Not sure if I can say with any conviction AT or NT, but it does appear to be secondary toning at best.

TomB · May 25, 2011 10:28AM

Given the image there is no way in heck I would buy the coin.

djdilliodon · May 25, 2011 10:32AM

That one is AT

Zoins · May 25, 2011 10:33AM

<< Given the image there is no way in heck I would buy the coin. >>

I vote AT.

Can you add a poll?

Pokermandude · May 25, 2011 10:34AM

Looks like it may have been cleaned and then retoned later. Not sure if the retoning was AT/NT, as secondary (natural) toning looks kinda like this.

Goldbully · May 25, 2011 10:35AM

Can you add a poll?

Good idea, but too late I believe.

Monstarcoins · May 25, 2011 10:36AM

Its NT but ugly

yellowkid · May 25, 2011 11:14AM

The toning is a bit atypical, but I think it's NT.

Boom · May 25, 2011 11:19AM

Looks AT to me judging by what we can see.

What did the "sniffer" say or are they using it yet?

Wait till later to reply so as not to ruin the thread OR
send a PM and I promise not to disclose the answer till you do.

The coin has been in one place for a very very long time. Perhaps underground.

NT

dizzyfoxx · May 25, 2011 11:28AM

Coins like that are what make this hobby so darn scary! Rim toning with the appropriate colorization is awsome and beautiful, but toning like that although not impossible, has some major questions about it. JMHO. I actually like it either way.

Boom · May 25, 2011 11:31AM

This is why when in doubt - submit.
Can't hurt. It still IS whatever it is.

jom · May 25, 2011 12:06PM

Does toning hide hairlines or other problems? If not, and you LIKE it, why not purchase it a cost you deem fair?

I still think this NT/AT debate is way blown out of proportion...given that no one really has a good definition of "AT". It just comes down to whether you like the coin.

jdillane · May 25, 2011 12:19PM

Hmmm....AU meat but surfaces are somewhat suggestive of environmental damage or maybe just heavy crust. I lean toward NT especially if this coin spent some serious years in the humid south. If she's got more luster than the images suggest than I am liking her.

That said, I would not in the least be surprised if our hosts gennied her.

dlmtorts · May 25, 2011 12:32PM

I don't think it has been messed with to get that toning. I do think it might have been stored in a kraft envelope or something similar. IMO that is NT. Don't know why I think this but to me it does make a difference if it occurs over time like album or envelope toning rather than occurring quickly by having a substance applied to it.

astrorat · May 25, 2011 12:38PM

It doesn't look right...AT.

49thStateofMind · May 25, 2011 12:55PM

Im going with NT.

Was starting to NT then someone one tried to speed it up and AT the NT!

SkyMan · May 26, 2011 1:39AM

AT.

dragon · May 26, 2011 1:53AM

That pic may not completely capture the colors on that coin accurately, as many times I've seen darkly toned pieces lightened up somewhat on those True View pics. So based on that the coin could go either way IMO.

STONE · May 26, 2011 10:26AM

Having a coin grade by a major TPG doesn't answer the question whether it is NT or AT!

Monstarcoins · May 26, 2011 12:11PM

<< Having a coin grade by a major TPG doesn't answer the question whether it is NT or AT! >>

Your right but they have had it in hand and can say better than any of us. I thought it was NT and still do

Looked at her tonight in hand......she's a real enigma.
I love her, despite being blue toned and then some!

Another thought on this topic...

Coin pics give a very limited impression of the coin from a single angle, at a single point in time. Some coins of this type appear wildly colored from every angle and look like a Crayola job. On the other hand, some are mostly dark, and/or bland, but the wild toning jumps out just at the right viewing angle.

Having laid down this foundation, I think it all depends. If this coin is in the all angle crayola category, then I would lean more toward AT; if however, it is in the single angle category, then I would think NT all the way.
