    I don't think that one is definitely AT. I'd say about a 50/50 chance that the toning is natural.

    I agree!

    I'm assuming you know this is Baley? I bought a toner from him once, 100% NT.

    Edited to add:
    I agree though, this one is a bit funky...

    Isn't that Baley? Most of what he has looks natural, as with stuff in the past--I agree this one doesn't look too natural, but the real ToneCoin2003s have stockpiles of similar looking stuff.

    4 purchase from him, 2 graded, 1 bagg'd, another in grading right now...

    even with a coin that you know is NT, it can still get the dreaded bodybag....

    its a gamble....

    Sorry, didn't know this was Baley...nothing against him, this one, definitely looks funky, especially for the date. Some of the other stuff he has also looks, um, well different. I just remember that tonecoin didn't start out with the stuff he has now...he has gotten, um well for lack of better word, better.

    Board member or not, that coin is not naturally toned, period. Perhaps that is why it is still sitting at 35¢, and why his shipping on it is only 83¢.

    I agree. I just can't see that being natural.

    tonecoin, scrunchymoma, & swimmer have sold so much AT junk we will see it relisted on sleazeBay by a million different sellers forever on.
    Looking @ the rev I'd say album tone but the obv kinda gives it away.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Nah nah noooo nooooo this is a board member and my buddy (even if he doesn't feel the same way) and he has good feed back so it has to be real and he must be doing something right. Now if one of those other dudes was selling this, (you know the ones that don't post here) then everybody would hang them and call scam fraud etc. etc. Cool coin Baley, nice pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think tonecoin2003 cooks his coins better and brighter than that one

    I think the toning has been accelerated. However even if it has not been messed with, I dont like those colors. Just a personal thing with me.

    Hey, no problem, we should call em like we see em.
    This particular coin I was uncertain about when I bought it, not sure if the pattern and wild colors were the result of (mis)storage or direct intent, and am still 50/50 on the subject; there is really know way to know for sure, all I can say is that I didn't blowtorch it, or whatever.
    That said, I've since found a more subtle-ey toned 46S for my Dansco Washie set that's a better match to some of my other coins, so what to do with this one?

    my answer was to start it at face value with no reserve. is this wrong? what should a person do?
