    I'm not so sure that one is AT'd. If you dial back the obvious juicing of the image, it looks similar to Morgans I've seen graded by the big two. I'd say about 50/50 chance on that one. But, if it were graded by NGC or PCGS it'd certainly bring some strong money, so one has to wonder why it's being offered raw.

    The price is too high for me, but the color looks ok. This is the one that scares me----1889 He is asking $170 for a common date? Gem BU? Yikes, I'd run.

    I'm leaning towards natural on this one.

    Well - to me it looks bogus - first of all, the coin looks circulated. Second there's no transition between the colors. This coin, like his other coins, are grossly overgraded - People will do anything on Ebay.

    What are the odds that bad boy actually is a legitimate 66 candidate?? I wouldn't bet on those odds... image

    It's too bad there isn't a "Scratch and Sniff" option on my computer screen. I'd say there's a 50/50 chance that one smells like rotten eggs, match sticks or a bad fart.

    The orange color that extends the periphery at about 1:00 to 2:00 and by the "m" in "unum" looks really unnatural to me. I'll bet the owner of this coin will be able to watch the thing get darker and darker by the day until it is eventually a black hunk of worthless metal.

    I'd say not market acceptable. Most likely AT.
