AT, is there a SUREFIRE way to detect it?

Danegeld

I bought a (I still think so ) nice 1829 Bust Half last evening and was wondering if there is a SUREFIRE way to determine if the toneing is Natural or Artificial.

Thanks

a good magnifying glass and a good mind and twenty/thirty years experience

for me

i find there are three types of toned coins

number1)...... no brainer NT

number2) .....questionable/possible NT?? coins and/or market acceptable AT and/or coins that i am not quite sure about

number 3).....no brainer AT

there is a sure fire way to solve all this

reread the above and only BUY number 1) coins

Yes, thanks for the link. I bought a Type I 1917 SLQ a while ago in XFish condition and the tarnished/earthy tone looked just too good to be true. After a little soap & water it now is a beautiful Bright WHITE, Oh Well...

Thanks

Frattlaw / TonedPeaceNut invented the Gaunkulator in his FINALLY -- a scientific test to determine AT vs. NT!
thread, but the powers that be silenced him and no further information was ever disclosed to the public.

Hey Bill, How are ya doing? Oh, I ain't gonna test that "29" I think it's genuine enough for me On a somewhat similar experience my parents had after my dad bought my mother a beautiful Silver & Turquoise necklace in New Mexico. He told her to test it (Turquoise) with a cigarette lighter. If it's fake the blue paint would burn off the stone. The whole damn necklace caught on fire, LMAO...

Take Care
