<< <i>^^Actually not the same coin. Sure looks kind of like it though but the insert number is a couple off (graded in the same batch). >>
Thanks for pointing this out. It's interesting that the numbers are so close, 18267780 and 18267782.

<< <i>There are three of them with the same look and are serial numbered batched , 7780, 7781 & 7782.. >>
....And in my opinion -all three are gassed
<< <i>Check out the one coming Sept.5th. I know someones probably going to drop $500+ on the 54 P. Not me but i wonder who...
oh Lordy yes ............. probably going to go 700$ or 800$ bucks on it - maybe over a grand ! NOT !
here's the MS64 I sold couple months ago @ T.T ......notice any similarities ? They are from a questionably colored hoard that appeared 15 years ago
I have several - how many do you want ?
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

i should have more correctly said "done" , as in colorized by chemistry
Really, it's a pretty coin. I like it!

<< <i>I do not support doctoring or AT coins to any degree but, through my own simple experimentation, that color combination and pattern can be easily reproduced by boiling an egg, crushing it up, putting it in a plastic container, put a bunch of paper towels on top, put the frankie on top of the paper towels, seal lid, wait 30 minutes, open lid and it looks identical with purply blue mottled coloration. Again, I do not condone doctoring but experiment yourself to educate yourself on what to look out for. However, with this toning from the egg, you can easily wipe it off. >>
Here's some additional info on these coins from the thread:
<< <i>The reason I know these are not mint set toners is they have the type 2 reverse. The '58 mint sets only contained type 1s. >>
<< <i>It is a double mint set year and a lot of those show nice color.

This is true but these have the type 2 reverse and the '58 mint sets contained type 1s.
Here's a third coin from the same submission.

in my book , the evidence, my gut feeling and the alignment of the stars ; all say A.T
<< <i>The fact that PCGS graded all three a the same time, my gut tells me they're NT. >>
well one things for sure Pat ; we both got guts
When it comes to toning I trust my gut (and, PCGS's on-sight, in hand opinions).
....I did not even consider bidding on the blue/purple 58-P's though- even though PCGS and other knowledgeable folks believe the toning is legit
this whole N.T/A.T issue is always going to be unresolvable ;
many of the posts asking if a coin is real or fake toned end up with 1/2 the people saying it's N.T ,
and the other half saying it's A.T
even though the consensus on the 3 '58's was A.T - the one pictured in this thread brought $500 !!
and I went and put a max bid of 500$ on the '54 pictured in this thread , even though I knew it came from questionable origins .
It would seem , and maybe rightly so - that once PCGS slabs any given coin : it becomes N.T .....................even if it's not !
