I believe that this one is a blatent AT....how was this done and can I reverse the process?

rsdoug81 · November 23, 2005 5:01AM

I may be wrong, but I think the metal has been permanently changed. Toning requires a chemical change to occur in the surface of the metal. I don't think you can get it off short of whizzing...

Just leave it as is.

eyoung429 · November 23, 2005 5:07AM

Too bad....I love the vam that this is........guess I will have to start an NT, AT and white vam collection.....

ms70 · November 23, 2005 5:07AM

I'm not so sure that's AT. What's the back look like?

eyoung429 · November 23, 2005 5:52AM

If you look at the eagle's rt wing up to the "in" you will see why I want to keep this one.

Try a pencil eraser although an ink eraser does a good job too

Ok...I don't get it. What's there?

If it's been tourched, it won't dip off.

eyoung429 · November 24, 2005 3:33AM

do you have a link for those ( I am not "in the money" enough to do superior auctions but I would like to compare some of the current coins that I have. 2 of them are blatantly at but there are 4 of them that I think are NT...this is one that I cannot tell with yet.

BTW.... there are a couple of things on this coin that are going in with the next few to Mr. Allen.

I don't get your drift either..... are there some significant clash marks? The toning looks suspicious to me, but it's hard to tell from the pics presented....

Shamika · November 24, 2005 4:51AM

Actually, if that coin is AT, it's enough to fool me. I think it's NT.

TwoSides2aCoin · November 24, 2005 4:51AM

I've seen a lot of driver's on the road with the same symptoms as your Morgan....

..... We like to refer to it as "BLUE HAIR".... I steer clear of toning

Hadleydog · November 24, 2005 4:56AM

I believe that this one is a blatent AT
Blatant AT. And no, there were no coins even close to this in the recent Superior auction.

sTONER · November 24, 2005 5:00AM

i would fine glassbead that lovely lady, then silver powder coat her

or enjoy the colours

coinlieutenant · November 24, 2005 5:25AM

Why do you say blatant AT...it very well might be but it isnt blatant to me.

mozin · November 24, 2005 6:34AM

I don't know Morgans at all, but to me this could be NT.

wjd283 · November 24, 2005 6:45AM

<< <i>If it's been tourched, it won't dip off. >>

It wont dip off if it's been torched either.

Hadleydog · November 24, 2005 7:43AM

There's at least one seller on ebay who offered a bunch of raw coins...........morgans, peace, walkers, standing liberty's etc, that all had toning silmilar to the coin posted. That blue to blue is just plain wrong, and they forgot to add on the ice blue and antique gold to finish the color pattern. Color crawls over the devices, no shadowing either. Is that enough?

lordmarcovan · November 24, 2005 12:03PM

Looks kosher to me- I don't think it's AT.

lordmarcovan · November 24, 2005 12:04PM

But what do I know?

rip · November 24, 2005 12:07PM

hmmmm.........turn back the hands of time?
