    I like those colors big time.

    I wouldn't care if it's AT.

  • I agree that has very nice eye appeal.

    yep, someone brought it up a day or so ago...I thought it looked better than 63 and the colors are great but waiting to see it inhand.

    Funny - you'd think he'd have put that color on the obverse. image

    I love that coin. The tone looks "heavy". Because of taht I think its NT. Looks like a nice high graded, too. I wish it was mine.image

    I would buy it... except for the toning on the reverse..... image Cheers, RickO

    That's a pretty AT coin.
  • Nice coin. I like the colors too.
  • too purplish--AT
  • Cool eye appeal, but that color was helped along...
  • AT, but very nicely done!

    AT no doubt in my mind.

    Hard to tell if it's the coin, or the tilt of the photo, but it looks dipped, then AT'ed

    If you got a coin cheap, there's usually a good reason for it.

    Purple on silver is rarely a good thing.

    And here comes stmanimage If the "color" is accurate in the image IMO it's about as bunk as can be. Looks like other folks like it, which is no problem if ya like to keep the "Docs" in business. But as I've learned on here...... "Who cares if it's AT, if you think it's pretty and you like it.... that's all that matters."

    Personally I hate it. Sorry. image

    Either the coin or the photo is doctored.
  • AT

    AT. Likely dipped before the ATing as well.

    An NT coin should at least have a trace of rim toning on the obverse as well. Toning like that on only one side is very suspect.

    Beautiful coin...

    EDIT: I'm switching to AT due to the apparent texture of the toned areas.

    Not a problem at all.....I am hoping that the pics are juiced up....if not, it will go with my AT section of a website that I am designing. Besides.....my daughter LOVES the colors...


    And that's all that matters image

    I think it is a beauty, even if it was "helped along." I really like it for less than AU money.

    I'll pay ya AU money for the coin......image !!!!

    Probably artificially colored reverse, but sounds like you like it and the price was right, so enjoy it! image

  • black spot on the obv is on the outside of the flip.

    I still say it's a heck of a nice coin.

  • >>>>> I still say it's a heck of a nice coin.

    I agree. I have one like it that WAS dipped but naturally toned in a similar pattern. At least it has the same progression of colors.

    It's definitely AT...I've made that color pattern before by xperimenting making AT coins. I experimented so I would know what AT coins looked like (doing something, for me personally, is the best education because I get to experience it first hand versus handed down knowledge).

    I used apple vinegar, vidalia onion, and one egg...mashed it up in a little bowl and set it in a sealed tupperware container. The coin was set on a rubber ring inside the container (so the side on the rubber ring didn't tone). About 14 hours later...voila!

    Perhaps the ingredients used to make this coin were different, but the outcome is nearly identical.

    /mdg.


  • If I understand correctly, you are saying because you doctored a coin, you conclude HIS coin is doctored.

    For all of those who say (very authoritatively) that this coin is AT: Tell us how you know. What do you see that brings you to the conclusion that the coin is AT?

    The AT comment otherwise look like baseless opinion designed to rain on someone's parade.

    While the look at first is startling, the progression of colors is right.
    It also has the lighter colors around the edge lettering while having the tops of the letters darker...another trait of NT coins. Either that or the artist was extremely good at painting the top of the coin while not touching the fields.

    Seems like the consensus here is AT, but I have some doubts.

    I would tend to agree with you IMHO. Just from pictures viewed over time it seems the AT perps seem compelled to do both obverse & reverse instead of just one side.

  • Hopefully the image is "juiced" and it looks more natural in hand. I'm pulling for NT only if it's not as blue and red in hand.

    A doctor can usually detect his own handiwork, or at least recognize when a similar technique was applied, yes.
  • I'm NT on this one , I have a walker in a ANA slab with very simular toning .
