A bit too made up for my taste. I prefer my ladies to be the all-natural type. She has had a bit too extreme of a makeover.

Take some more pics, try different lighting and leave the contrast adjustment alone.

I still like the coin in the OP but just don't think it looks like the picture shows it. Maybe an old dip and retoned or maybe not.
That said though, I am a sucker for colorful AU Izzy's... here is mine PCGS AU58
<< <i>I'm just guessing that the OBV looks more like this... (I took the liberty of trying to detweak your pic to what I think it might look like)... you can shoot me later if I offend you. I'd bet if your pics looked closer to this some of the responses in the thread might not have been so harsh.
Sorry guys i cant take a descent pic for the life of me. The Original Pic which is the sellers pic on the Very top of this thread is much closer to the actual coin less the lighting and flash ofcourse and still very attractive.Sorry nothing like the pic on this reply.No offense taken Rich. Most Probably dipped at one time and retoned. NT in my opinion and others that i have asked who specializes in NT coins before i purchased this from Paul.
Nice pickup Joe
congrats

the debate of at or nt truly need not apply
not to hijack this thread and beautifull isabella here but i bought this slq knowing it's at...even paid good $$$ for it...not by much though
but sometimes...at/nt just doesn't matter as beauty is to the eye of the beholder...here bash my slq and leave that gorgeous isabella alone
This is where our hobby turns to crap. a collector knowingly supporting crap behavior
I can understand if you weren't aware and made an innocent mistake. >>>
you crack me up realone
it gets better...darn near any airplane you hop on to fly has a part made by such a fool too...lots n lots of landing gear rely on such a fool too
ya know that c-17 was even proto-typed with such a fools insights and my h.a.r.m qualification work well it's team that was happy too
coins...i don't speak for others...this is a coin forum and all
but ponder why others speak for others as if...as if they've the only one with an i.q.
to think of all the collectors who'd laff at the humble lil meek sector who are proud of their mashed in coins in folders that they are proud of only found in circulation
i liked that slq...i bought it...laff at me all you want...call me names or partake a luara's stance and cry tha sky is falling
the hobby goes on...happy new years to you too
enjoy what ya like...let others stand as they do...it keeps um busy
i'm just not important enough in my own mind that i could move a mountain or kill this hobby...a village idiot per se...but a happy one and you've no clue if you think i matter in the coinworld
i'd rather not even read books on coins so that those who do have something new to share with me...it keeps something alive...i do my part
my love of my kids,ladies and motorcycles far outweigh coins
i will ad a final point though...i'm happy alot of ol coin doctors conserved alot of coins before our times when i look at some that never got the loving they needed and contamination destoryed um...i like dipping as a machinist...it just makes sense
<< <i>All i can say is i am happy with this Isabella and i just wanted to share with you the colors that makes her stand out. She might have been or not ...maybe so ...maybe not...but in the end She just makes me smile as i look at her and all of your coins too ...She truly brings joy to my
Now, these are true words spoken out of a collectors mouth!!
No better words describe how a true collectors feels.
We do not know for absolute certainty that CB's Izzy is AT. In my opinion it is natural. I think that the
image is just off and gives it the wrong appearance.
As far as Teddy's SLQ...I also say............ how do we know for absolute certainty that this is AT?
I will tell you that IMO it is natural!
But what matters is the collector, these are not blatant AT'd coins...........they are questionable and in my book
should not be damned for being questionable.
I am in no way shape or form for the coin doctor at all.
I am merely saying that coins as such should not be condemned so quickly

Absolutely it is the collector whose own feelings are those that matter first but only for himself.
But when someone presents a coin on these boards to show and tell and look for opinions and responses then there is nothing wrong with those responders to give their opinions too, agreeing or disagreeing, that is what this forum is all about. It isn't the forum of yesing but of learning. As for lasvegasteddy, he stated with certainty that he knows his coin is at, i trusted that there was a good reason for him to state that and went with his statement of fact.
Lets not be afraid to voice all opinions here and if one only responses that agree with oneself then maybe that individual shouldn't be posting threads to an open forum. Most want to know if a coin is at or nt, and after knowing if the poster still feels the same about the coin then that poster can really know that it is a keeper. I personally want to know the cold hard truth about my coins, no matter what.

I could not agree with you more that this board is for voicing your opinion. That is a fact!.
We do not learn anything by browning our lips!
I guess what stood out to me and finally made me post was the statement you made
"This is where our hobby turns to crap. a collector knowingly supporting crap behavior
I can understand if you weren't aware and made an innocent mistake"
was a little strong for me. So I felt the need to express my opinion

I say "no."
My guess is that a collector dipped and stored it with the hope that the coin would retone.
The coin is not big money enough for a doctor.
I also think Realone has a point to not feed the doctors
This coin came from a fellow forum member so the doctor was not seller.
Lasvegasteddy- Should realone check to see that the tires are aired up on his next flight to see Laura on his lear jet??? LOL J/K
But now that the pot is stirred on coin doctors i am asking Realone to name names. You hear the docs are out there BUT no one ever wants to type it for all the see. Lets put Realone in charge of flushing out the docs, now that would be a step in the right direction. Submit the top 10 realone, some of the unwashed masses want to know.

Maybe it was done by a premed student.
A nice looking coin though.
In my experience, "crazy colors" equals
AT at least 99% of the time.
