Looks AT from the image.......might look different in hand but from what I can see it looks messed with.

Or messed on.

Not pretty.

A coin like that, it hardly matters - does it?

They should'a warned me that I'd be playing to a tough crowd.

Looks blatant AT, and poorly done.

AT Is What it Looks like To Me

I voted CANT TELL, but I meant it as CT (chemically toned) The truth is: metal is either changed thermally or chemically. I don't know why the TPGs even grade them, but they ought to be graded CT or TT if they are graded at all.

Call me dumb, but that is how I view metal. Whether it's stainless steel, copper, silver or gold, the color changes are a chemical reaction or a thermal one. Come on folks, lets put this issue to rest ! AT is a way the TPG can say "it might be valuable" but it's dead to us because it isn't consistent with what we know about toning (chemical's effect on metal). NT is a way the TPG can say "it's got eye appeal and the colors are consistent with what we know about toning"... DUH, CHEMICALS.... YUCK.

No Dipping allowed, either.

Perfect Toning though aged like a fine wine in a sulfuric environment

Could be NT, or a botched AT. In either case, I don't like it.

Did you notice the coin is tilted to the right? I thought all US coins were vertical ( or is it verticle?). Is there a obverse to that coin? Great photo though. I never noticed before that the eagle's mouth is open. Anyone know what he is saying? Is the toning the same on both sides?
Not sure but I've heard that to test for AT you should put a Butain Torch to the coin for approximately one hour. If the toning vanishes, it was AT. If the coin vanishes, you'll never do that again.
Now why is the eagle holding a bunch of arrows and can't even use a bow?

LOL@carl... I like the torch theory

But its original envelope toning. The coin sat in an evelope for years. That should mean extra points for originality right? Everyone should be showering this coin with accolades about how it is original and undipped. Who cares whether its pretty or not. Its not dipped and that's what counts, right?
