This is a 1997 Silver Eagle that I have had in the Coin World Holder for many years.
Nothing else done to it,,,,,,, no chemicals, no baked potato,,,,, no flame burning it.
Would you call it AT or NT?????

I voted NT but honestly it isn’t going to be worth a premium and I don’t find it attractive so I’m not sure it matters.
One question... Was it tarnished when you got it? OK, two questions...Did you buy it new from the mint or other source? Cheers, RickO
Where is the option: Don't care... I don't like it anyway

It was Blast White,,,, bought it on eBay I think.
Thank you... then likely NT and perhaps accelerated by the holder or storage...Cheers, RickO
I'm not sure. It's umm different jmo
NT, but this is just very pure silver doing what very pure silver does. Not a look I'd favor or pay a premium to acquire.
The “don’t care” option is always included. And it doesn’t even require a reply.

I'd lean towards NT since this is how ASEs tend to tone, but it's a bit darker than what you usually see graded, so I wouldn't say definitely NT in terms of market acceptability.
That said, I also don't think it's bright/colorful enough to warrant grading, in case the questions was leaning that way. This color won't garner enough of a premium to cover the grading fee, so I wouldn't see it as worth it to send it in.
But then you don't know if someone just didn't see the thread, or if they did see the thread AND didn't care. So it DOES require a reply.
I like the fact that on both sides, the centers stayed normal. It's ironic concerning your thread? I just purchased a

New coin yesterday, also a Silver Eagle, 2005. Only reason I bought it was the fact It also is toned!

The "coin" is NT but that doesn't matter. Most buyers of those want them blazing white. If you find someone who is willing to pay a premium for toned bullion coins take the money and run.
Looks like NT to me.

As I write this reply this thread has 125 views 16 votes and 12 replies, so close to 100 of the people that opened and looked at this tread did not vote or reply. Should the op assume that those folk "don't care" because they did not vote or reply, or could there be other reasons why no reply or vote was cast?

Brown, rust, and crust are not valuable attributes on toned ASE’s.
I'd call it "UT" or "UNT" if the coin looks like that in hand.
Not attractive and more on the "U"gly "N"atural "T"oning side of things.....sorry.
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
I personally refer to this coin as BMAH Toning,,,,,
NT. It would seem that if AT doctors had a hand in this it would have more vibrant color resulting in a better chance for sales. This specimen lacks that. Unless this was a failed experiment.
I think so.
You could spend $40 to grade it and then sell it for $25.

But I could make up for it with volume,,,,,,,,,,,
That brownish toning needs a lot of iridescent blues and pinks to be attractive on an ASE IMO.

If this item were sent for grading what would be the lowest PCGS return postage for a $25 item? So adding your postage, grading fee and return postage might be closer to $50. Then if that's what you want, that is what matters.

Guys, I am not stupid, I would not send a single coin in by itself so $50 grading fees will not happen. I don’t even have plans to send this coin at this time, I just wanted opinions on NT or AT, I don’t even think the holder did it all on its own as it has been in a window sill in the sun & cold for at least five years or more, The plan was and is to let it continue to tone to see what it looks like in another 2 years or so.
