AT or NT? Grade?

The date and mintmark have been covered up to protect the innocent...

 

 

Is this artificial toning or natural? What about a grade?

Shadow foxing and ink overspray. 9.0?

Is that nail polish on it?

[tejas1836]

I'm not going to venture a guess on the toning or the grade but that's a pretty wild looking coin. The first thought that came to my mind was Van Gogh's painting Starry Night.

Good one, you nailed it! Nail polish 9.0 it was... (Photoshop 4.1)

 

Seriously, the date and mintmark were covered up to protect the seller. Do you think this is AT or NT? Grade?

improper dip and rinse with unnatural looking tarnish

I apologize, I thought you posted on the wrong boards.

Actually I was on the wrong board. My fault and good

luck with getting responses from someone who knows coins.

AT net AU. Nice strike. Too bad some one thought they needed to add color.

You would "net" it to AU? I think it has AU50-53 details. But wouldn't it "net" to VF30-35 due to the AT?

[Bugmann1974]

I think he was seeing it as an unc piece. I would give it AU details for AT myself. I am not quite proficiant on figuring out net grading yet so I will refrain from trying to figure a net grade out

[L1ncolnF4n]

AU details, AT

They added color to hide scratches or a harsh cleaning, look to the right of Liberty.

AU details, but blatant AT. When I see coins chemically ruined to that extent, there's almost always a reason why - usually because of some surface alteration that's being covered up.

[HiHoAudio]

AU details and AT as many have noted.

 

A real shame that a coin this nice was ruined.

[BillJones]

AU sharpness, artificial toning, SCREAMING artificial toning.

[$ilverHawk]

Sorry, improper use of the term "net" by me. I see this coin as lightly circulated. AU53-55 and AT d.

Not sure that this was "nice" prior to the enhanced coloration (trying to be PC here ) because of scratches, and probably a blast white dip.

 

So could this be the result of a Taco Bell experiment?

[cameron12x]

How in the world would you "net grade" a coin like this? It's pleasing in some ways (it's an interesting issue with little wear), but obviously manipulated.
