Actually, even if God can came to my house, with his angels, and told me the coin was NT and I still wouldn't believe him.

There are those who know that the PKOK Ikes are AT and are buying them as a "piece of art" not as a numismatic item. Further, from what I understand the AT of the PKOK Ikes was a rather complicated procedure which did border on art work. That is certainly not the case in regards to this coin.

I also buy NT Peace $ that are raw. I just prefer that if I am going to pay a premium for toning, it should be NT, not something someone did in their basement in about 5 minutes. In that case I'll just learn how to AT coins myself and save a bunch of money.
