    That piece looks to be genuine, but the photo has been shot at an angle, and the image is small. Therefore, given you track recond of showing us counterfeits, I guess I should reserve judgement.

    The images are quite large, but you need to open them in another tab to be able to zoom in. I took the liberty of cropping the images to make the coin easier to see. The coin appears to have some issues, and I don't think the toning would be considered market acceptable.

    Toning is definitely ARTIFICIAL.

    That is a AT coin.... @SanctionII ...Did you post this just for reactions?? Cheers, RickO

    I agree that this coin is most likely AT and not gradeable.

    It does have pretty colors. Looking at it in hand it does not (to my untrained eye) show evidence of a prior cleaning. It does show some light wear, leading me to believe it would be viewed as an AU coin.

    I posted this thread and three other threads to show pictures (not of high quality) of some of the coins I have collected outside of my main area.
