FWIW, I think the coin is original, and the photo is enhanced...Mike

If you own it, it's definately AT. If it's owned by a bigger collector or a big dealer, it's NT without a doubt. Now don't post anymore toned Indians unless you meet the above criteria.

Hit the nail on the head.

that being said, its a nice looking coin.
Duh. Never mind. I clicked his sig link.
+1 then.
Unless there is something I'm missing about the photo that would indicate otherwise (what would that be?)

Said simply, the "look" of the first photo led me to state the photo looked juiced. The "orange" looks simply too "orange" and the "fuchsia" looked too "fuchsia" -- i.e. saturation looks to be enhanced. Another thing to look for is in the white area of the slab -- if you look closely you will see how there are both light blue and light red pixels -- this is a dead giveaway of either saturation enhancement or digital noise. In this case my sense it is the former.
Spend some time playing with saturation slide in a photo editing software package and I think you'll learn a lot...Mike
Pay particular attention to what happens to the "reddish" colors of the IHC and the white of the slab.
Hope this helps...Mike

Nice and honest explanation. Personally I think most toned coin photos are juiced to some extent. Low to moderate juice does not bother me at all. Its the obvious juice up that turns me off. I could live with this photo but it is on the edge.
