    Even I would have spotted that as AT.

    I think it's kinda pretty, though, in a baked sort of way. image

    Interesting how album-toned coins seem to having toning starting at the edges, while AT coins like that seem to have the toning start in the middle, with the edges mostly untoned.

    85 bucks and change? image Damn, somebody could have bought two BU coins for that!

    Someone wise once said that you can't polish a turd....

    Actually I checked his feed back(as always) and he sells a variety of stuff. Just wanted some input on the toning as it did look suspicious pretty though.



    Thanks all

    Littlebit, the vast majority of these, if they have toned naturally, will have light golden mellow hues.

    You made a wise decision not to buy this coin. image

    If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

    I would just add that MELLOW is very difficult, if not impossible, for the amateur AT'er to achieve.

    I mean, centering a quarter on both sides? What an achievement.

    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
