Post a pic of an extremely good AT Monster Rainbow Morgan Dollar

I'd like to see examples of the VERY BEST WORK that AT "coin doctors" can produce (not the cheap crap you see on EBAY every day). Explain why it's fake, and how it was faked. The more details, the better.

Will anyone step up to the challenge?

BTW--I'd like to thank the dealers and collectors that are attempting to make life harder for the "coin dr.'s." I can't believe the way you guys are getting slammed on this board. As the old saying goes: "No good deed shall go unpunished."

    Here you go. Instead of me explaining why and how it is AT, let's see if anyone can come up with the answers. I'll post them if no one comes up with them.

    Looks like a date thats not known for toning and unless it was stored under unusual circumstances that particular color is not commonly found as the sole color on toned Morgans.

  • The colors just don't look right on Eric's dollar - notice that they just don't blend evenly

    Well, doesn't look like a lot of takers on this thread.

    Frank, you nailed one of the diagnostics. Also note how the color goes over and into the numerals in the date without any change of color.

    Coins AT'ed in this manner can be quite deceptive. The method is using gun blue, by adding strong pigments to gun blue you can come up with the various colors you see on this coin. Then a quick bake job on a hotplate, and voila! A tonecoin2003 special. Actually, I shouldn't say that. His work isn't this good.
