Yes................., again.

What do you say.
Most of the times I can pick out the AT coins but I want more opinions.
I took plenty of images.

I think I may have posted this one some time back when my imaging skills were
not up to par.

    I kind of lean toward AT...
    But market acceptable

    Will a dip or soak in acetone do anything to remove the color?

    Looks Taco Bell napkin-esque. I'd guess it came from paper or cardboard rather than a spray can.

    well, it's modern so blast white would'nt look out of place. best bet: dip the he11 out of it, follow up w/ a good baking soda paste scrub, then dip it again!

    AT in an ugly kind of way.
    Acetone should not remove those colors but dip or MS70 would.

    Easily NT. I would strongly bet that one sat in an album or a promotional holder based on the color, color transition, and look of the reeding . I have numerous toned Ikes with this type of toning, and some still in their respective non-mint issued holder. Some are toned very dark on the edge, others look like that one. That's a sharp coin. Enjoy it!

    NT - album toning (or holder).

    NT. Looks like this Morgan that was cleaned in 1985 then stuck in a cardboard box for 2x2's raw.

    DK is just being DK. He knows it's NT. He just thought he would stir the pot and see how many lemmings would follow his lead.

    I'll go with NT with the thinking that the coin was in some type of cardboard holder and sat in an envirnment which allowed the coin to bake in the sun... image dealer window display or something like that. Looks like NT speed toning... if that qualifies as NT????

    Stefanie >>



    Truth be told -- if an acetone dip removed that color then yes it was AT but I doubt acetone would have any affect at all.

    This toning is the result of being in an album in the right location. The blue rim is testament to that fact. The un toned, protected rim verifies it.

    For those dorks that suggest turning it blast white again?

    Shame on you for even suggesting such a thing as different people collect and appreciate different coins. But we are all coin collectors which is what gives us a common ground for discussion and appreciation of each others collections regardless of what they may be.

    Quite a few might argue Joe that that describes a nice AT coinimage

    I was about to post basically the same response. These silver clads often tone up nice in an album.

    Regards, John

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    It 's an interesting look, to be sure, on an Ike like that.
    I would say market acceptable.

    There are certain folks that said AT that I don't think would know NT if it bit them in the ass, so if they say AT, I will, by virtue of not respecting their views, say "nt" image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
