I'd say it looks AT from the scan. I've just never seen yellows that vivid before on a NT Walker. Usually the yellows are more subdued. If there was some brightness and contrast levels adjusted on the image, then perhaps sight seen the yellows don't look as "radioactive." Either way, if it is NT, then WOW, what a toner!
on a scale where a score of 0 (zero) is completely AT and 100 is completely NT, I give the appearance of this coin about 75% (mostly NT but still a little questionable, as in might have been enhanced or accelerated, difficult to tell. I DO think the image has been significantly enhanced)
Looking at these answers I'd say it's hard to tell. I mean how can a grader know for SURE if a coin is AT???

And, the answer is: It's a PCGS PR67. It's a scan of the dust jacket of the book United States Proof Sets and Mint Sets, (1936-2002) by Bill Gale and Ronald Guth. Just got the book in today.
So Russ, is this scan of yours very close to the color of the photo on the dust jacket?? It seems very hard to believe that such radioactive yellows could be NT....
My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
The coin actually meets some of the criteria for NT offered by Bob Campbell at the ANA Summer Seminar. Colors merge from yellow, magenta, blue/green; tone covers the lettering but the third point of sparing the rim in NT is not present in photo.
If I was a professional grader, I'd be on the fence but would have to body bag it as AT. I can't believe that some moron would AT a coin like this, though.

If the images are accurate, I vote AT - the colors are wrong for a Proof Walker.

i suggest that there's actually no such term as "no such term."

I still say AT. PCGS bags NT's so it's logical that some AT's made it into their slabs.
