Hi All,
looking for opinions on the toning of this PCGS PR63 Benson Barber 10c. I have 2 pics posted of the same coin - one is a glare on digital photo showing the color, the other is a new flat high DPI scan. Does this strike you as natural or AT? I feel it is original but 2 people have said it is/may be blatant AT and would never get into another holder so I'd like your opinions on this - thanks! image

Best,
Billy

    I'd stay away fro that coin. Looks funny to me. It's probably in some catalogue as the Benson coin, so you should still be able to get it in a holder somehow if you cracked it out.

    I liked your 1892 dime much much better.

    I don't see anything that unusual about the coin, I like it. Benson gave many of his coins a slight bath, which may explain why there are a fair many of his coins with hairlines, and some of his early silvers ended up with a chromium look. As I recall, this coin shows hairlines. Can you post the reverse?

    Oh, and if it is AT, it would had to have been done over 50 years ago, as the Benson collection sat in a safe deposit box untouched the entire time.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Hi,
    thanks image the reverse is my icon coin (as of today anyway). I think it is a nice 10c - not the best Benson but not the worst either. And, I think it an upgrade from what I currently have - the '92 in 63CAM. This is more original in appearance.

    Best and thank you,
    Billy
