Speaking of AT-are any of these coins NT?

[jesbroken]

Check this page on Ebay out and tell me if any of the coins look NT?

 

AT or NT?

I saw 4 of 5 out of the first 100 that I would consider natural looking...Mike

Personally, I'd pass. It looks like someone has tried to imitate the Tid-E-Bowl effect, but the colors seem flat and not as irridescent as they should. The one with the white center is totally off.

I wonder how many you have to scrap to get one to come out like that.

Most of those are pretty hideous. However, the certified coins look pretty legit.

The tone on this "certified" coin looks NT, as far as I can tell from the pictures.

I just did a quick glance and from what I see, looks like a lot of different methods of AT'ing going on. JMO

Just looking at the first page I'm pulling up, the certified ones look OK. It should be noted that what you have done is compiled all the dealers together that have listed rainbow in their coin descriptions. Obviously some dealers are selling more legitimate coins then others. Still, if one is being picky, a rainbow is a fairly specific term, as oposed to toned. All of those coins are toned, some NT most AT. However, there were only 2 or 3 that I would consider rainbow toned, e.g. showing the tonal progression, and they were in general pretty wimpy examples. Here is something I would consider rainbow toned...

The way I look at whether there NT or AT, you have got to like the looks of them. Or else why buy them?

By the way most of the coins look terrible, I wouldn't spend more than melt.

I give this one the AT'd award http://cgi.ebay.com/1889-P-Morgan-Silver-Dollar-Monster-Rainbow-Toned-AU_W0QQitemZ130154664017QQihZ003QQcategoryZ39466QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

Clearly a sulfer alcohol bath. Ive seen many coins done with this method and while some can be so perfect and impossible to tell this one is a bad example. Ill give the seller the benifit of the doubt though that the lighting used in the image can be throwing it off but i feel strongly it is an AT'd coin.

There's no doubt that this one is AT! That is an atrocious coin, though I have no idea how it was done.
