AT or NT?

Would love to get your thoughts on a newp that our hosts are currently evaluating. I guess I could wait another couple days to find out, but I'm chomping at the bit!
This is not holdered by NGC. I just used the prongs for pictures.
Sorry for the slightly out-of-focus shots.

Looks NT to me but you have my respect as one of the best in the business. What do you see that I don't.

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
The toning on the obverse "rides" up onto the word LIBERTY as well as on the date. Rarely have I seen that on a proof coin. The coin posted later on has SECTIONS of the legends where the toning is riding it, but mostly it stops at the devises (keep in mind that the later coin is mint state).
Secondly the toning doesn't look like I would expect such viberate colors to. Think a rainbow in the sky. The colors in a rainbow gently fade from one to another. On the proof quarter they don't. They jump all over the place, and to me look like somebody spilled paint on a canvas. They don't blend. They start and stop quite abruptly (particularly in the second photo in the area of three o'clock on the obverse). Also look at the 6 in the date. The toning shouldn't be so erratic if done over time by Mother Nature.
Lets talk environment. If this piece did indeed sit undisturbed in an album of the era for an advanced collector it would probably one of the National Coin Album type. Hence the sulfur content, moved by air, would be somewhat the same on both the obverse and reverse. No collector at the time would cut up an expensive proof(as aposed to a more available mint state one) and put it in the cheaper one sided Whitman tri-folder.
So what does all this mean? Nothing. I'm just voicing my opinion. And as Dennis Miller used to say..."hey, I could be wrong".

Curious...why would you photoshop prongs into the images? That's bizarre.

Sorry, but there is a world of difference between the toning on the 62 and the 46. Just look closer.

I did not photoshop them into the photo....weird idea.......just weird
Instead of holding the coin up with my hand(I use natural light) I'll pop the coin into prongs for photography purposes.

AT or NT...there is a third option I might use here - pass.

Interesting. I never considered that. Creative. Certainly different.
