    Some folks say that a lot of attractive blue-toned copper pieces are legitimate NT- so I wonder if there are any ways to determine NT blue-toned copper from AT blue-toned copper......

    That looks nice..only the fields toned and for the most part the devices appear to be that nice copper color.

    Perhaps that's how you can tell the difference?image

    On PF IHCs, I've seen some pink & aqua toning on areas of the raised portions of the coins, ie., the wreath on the reverse. Shylock knows more about / has seen more of this than I have. As far as I'm concerned, if the entire coin is dark blue or purple, you can thank Monsanto or Dow.

    Sorry, that 2 cent piece reminds me of a Huichol Indian painting after doing peyote.

    Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw it.

    That's lovely and clearly NT.

    More to the point its blue copper on the market from certain sellers that is being questioned.

    I would hold off any opinions until I had the coin in hand. Pinnacle doesn't always capture colors correctly. That's not a slam agains Pinnacle, but I've received coins that look nothing like the image. The same with other dealers too.
