A longtime friend collects ASE's and keeps them in his gun safe. 2 yeas ago when I last saw them, they were developing simililiar toning. He only buys his coins from the mint and doesn't have any other involvement in the numismatic community, so is oblivious to the whole AT/NT discussion, or the impact of toning for that matter. I've wondered how his coins will be viewed. AT or NT?
Natural toning, slightly pumped photos. Keep in mind the eagles are 99.9% pure silver and as such will tone quickly and to some interesting colors. What you want to look out for on these are coins that have toned in a very even and clean manner with smooth gradations between colors - these are coins that have been cleaned prior to toning and as such, were most likely done purposefully.
