Maybe it's the scan, but this Kennedy doesn't look too attractive...

AT?

    It looks more like it was improperly stored to me.

    NT. Likely from an after-market mint set holder.

    No question real deal toning. I'd also bet it looks much better in hand.

    NT, and the obverse is really ugly. image

    These days it seems that any silver coin that has changed from it's orignal white color will find a premium buyer somewhere. There is no accounting for taste.

    I tend to doubt that given the number of black spots I see under the toning on the obverse.

    $130.00 for this? I won't pay $1.30.

    No, it looks more like a drainpipe job to me.

    That's where I've been making my mistakes all these years. Instead of storing my coins in dry, protected places, I should have been putting them in places where they would have a chance to corrode. A nice wet, sulfur filled envelope stored my garage up in my Boston house would have done the trick.

    Sorry guys, but there are limits to what is attractive toning and what isn’t. This coin is ugly.

    I'm at work and can't get the link to open, could anyone post the pic of the coin so I can see what all the fuss is about?

    It's probably a Dansco holder toned (maybe...it's not a clad)....possibly enhanced by what Bill suggested.

    I think the coin would have been pretty at one point but the toning was let to go on far too long. image
