I purchased this Peace dollar, raw, about a year or so ago. I liked the color and thought it was nicely toned for a Peace dollar. The first TPG it was sent to did not agree, came back "artificial Toning". I realize that toning is often quite subjective so when I submitted my 8 free submissions with our hosts, I cracked the dollar out and included it as one of my 8. Happy to say, it has found a home.

Pretty coin though, looks like nice EOR toning on the obverse.
Looks like someone cooked it in an album trying to recreate Wayte Raymond toning.

Nice coin but that color doesn't add much premium, and they had it right the first time, it appear to be AT.

Agree. Too many Peace dollars are ATed and the grading services are reluctant to grade and slab even the NT ones.

Teddy,
Just to play devil's advocate, would you consider it to be a success story if an artificially toned coin comes back in a certified Graded holder -- or would you prefer to see it in a Questionable Toning holder to fully disclose the possibility (or perhaps probability) that the coin has been chemically altered?
I'm not drawing a conclusion as to whether the coin is NT or AT, although IMO it appears more likely to be AT.
Case in Point: At last week's Houston SW Money Show I was able to purchase a gorgeous light brown toned fully Prooflike 1882-O Morgan Dollar in an NGC "UNC Details - Artificial Toning" holder for a great price.
Seller and I both believe the coin to be NT (probably grades 64 PL), but the TPGS allowed full disclosure of market acceptability, which allowed me to make an informed decision and IMO purchase a beautiful coin for a great discounted price.
I'm looking forward to your (and others') thoughts on this. -- Thanks!

i prefer devils food over advocates...any day
anytime someone sends in a coin and comes back in a graded holder...that's a success
to me
now you could start a new thread to discuss something else...i'll chime in that one
this thread
sheds light on the fact that sometimes a coin needs a 2nd chance is all
one sub of mine i cracked out 5 genny's and saw 4 come back graded
the op's peace dollar
it's like something i could see being found in an old coffee tin of coins "type of toning"
good for him i say
