    I actually lean towards NT on this one, I think the lighting is just configured in such a way to make the piece seem more vibrant. Still, I do not think you will find the piece attractive. Looks very splotchy.

    If you want to own it at that price, it's worth it.

    If you want to flip it at that price, probably not.

    NT, but not a pretty NT.

    I'd want to see that coin in hand (benefit of the doubt goes to PCGS because they have). This is the kind of coin where seeing how the color sits on the surface and how strong it is would play into an opinion of NT vs. AT. Since these types of coins can photograph with the color appearing stronger than it is in hand (even without intentional manipulation on a computer), it's certainly possible that the color in the photo is off.

    Either way, as presented, I'm not a huge fan of the coin. Toned peace dollars are pretty rare, but that one just isn't that attractive to me, and certainly not at that price.

    I don't find it attractive at all. There is a nice 27-S toner out there for sale right now in 63, but for 64 money. At least that one is a tougher date/mm to begin with.

    I believe every bit of color, bot positive and negative, has been squeezed out into that image.

    My opinion is that regardless of toning the coin is not worth the bid price --- maybe $50 is closer to real value.

    Overpriced and ugly.... IMHO.... Something I would expect to find at the bottom of a bottle of cheap wine.... ;) Not really though, I don't drink cheap wine... :D Cheers, RickO

    Looks NT, but nowhere near that AP (artificial price). Doesn't help that that photos look like they were taken with a 2002 model flip phone.

    AT or NT, I don't care for it. The photos have bad contrast which makes hard to know how bright or dull this coin might be.

    Did it sell at this price? or just BIN that timed out?

    The reason I ask is the price is about $300 more than I would want to pay.

    I don't hate the coin but it's tough for me to tell without seeing how it looks in hand.

    I hate it.
