Real or AT poll

I got this coin from a friend who had it for several years in a tackle box.......

Opinions?

What's the obverse look like?

Definitely cooked and AT.

I tend to think NT simply based on the color, or lack of it where the fields meet the raised portions.

The obverse would help. Was that tackle box left out in the sun for long periods of time over the years? How long was it in the tackle box?

If we're talking PCGS or NGC wouldn't AT be bodybag?

If you call natural toning laying in a tackle box full of fish eggs.

the obverse is generally gold mottled toning. I only have a one bulb set up so its not the best pics, but the color is pretty much on.

no question AT/bodybag

The tackle box sat in his boat through several summers and winters and did not leave the boat. it was a good luck charm of sorts......it does not smell of fish eggs, but the holder was the most tattered capital plastic holder I have seen ( I think it was a capitol holder??) It had many cracks and was nearly grey.

Another dip candidate????? Nah....its a 55/53 at best

I'll still stick with NT, though it seems that it may not be market acceptable.

You can dust the inside of a small cello bag with sulfer, stack two silver coins off centered inside and place it on a windowsill that faces south.

Give it a couple of years and you will have a pair of nice crescent rainbows. They were intentional, but they occured naturally over time. Hardly the same as cooking them.

They will pass for NT all day long.

Are they NT or AT?

Looks AT to me, and at the very least, market unacceptable.........
