Is my coin AT, and if so, what method was used?

    It is probably NT, but if it was AT'd I would think it was done with a method similar to this one

    But only because the colors are vaguely similar

    I disagree MrSpud because of the different metals.

    Pharmer what does the reverse look like?

    The reverse is untoned, bright and lustrous. It is silver.


    Edited to explain that I don't have it here, it's at work. I imaged the obverse and uploaded that the other day.

    Then odds are that it's NT.

    Farmer my dear friend ,

    we all know you have NO A.T coins , nor do you know how to tone them yourself.

    We , the people , know as well that you will not believe a coin is A.T`d unless

    it were proven to you in a court of law .

    Yeah, I think Pharmer's coin is probably NT too. All I did was look through my AT examples at Link to AT examples and the Sac was the closest match. The Sac was done with a chemical that tends to result in purplish-blue.

    Actually, proving it to me in a chem lab would suffice.

    You made me smile again, Michael.

    A gentleman with a chemistry background pm'd with a suggestion that it was exposed to a halogen gas. NOW we are getting somewhere! Someone has finally suggested a mechanism. I think halogen gases include chlorine, fluorine, deceptorine, right? I bet it wouldn't be too hard to find a source of chlorine gas.

    looks AT to me. It is just too wild to be natural. The colors are natural, but I think it is just artificially spead up. It was probably put in a sulphur intoxicated environment.

    It's a pretty coin. If the market wasn't so quick to regard pretty coins with multiple X's of price, thereby allowing the Dr's to profit handsomely, that would suffice. A pretty coin.

    Looks as if they sujected the coin to a heat gun.image State quarters turn plum purple using a heat gun.
