Post An Attractive...AT Coin

[copper toning]

I bet some of these coins could actually be in a gradeable holder

 

Absolutely!

Here's an attractive AT Half Cent. It is in a top tier TPG holder but AT nonetheless.

Man, that don't look AT to me.

 

Looks all-natural to me

Thanks OP,

 

Here is the whole story. I bought this coin on ebay from a seller that sold slabbed NGC coins and every once in awhile they sold raw coins I followed them very closley and soon figured out the raw coins were all problem coins. I caught on real quick that they seemed to be cracking problem coins and I actually took a chance on one that ended up being lightly cleaned but still ungradable, I sent it back and decided not to buy raw coins from this seller. then this beauty came along and I just felt it was natural and really liked it so I bid on it and won it for a good price I felt (if memory serves correct it was around 65 bucks with shipping)

In hand it looked great, except a couple water type marks, I gave it an acetone bath and it looked slightly better so I just felt it would grade and sent it to NGC even tho I felt it had already been to NGC and details graded by the ebay seller.......well it came back artificially toned I then sent it to Shane to be photographed and to get a second opinion (Shane felt it was natural) I showed it to a few local dealers and all but one felt it was natural, so off to PCGS it went and now it happily resides in a problem free MS65 PCGS holder
