A very interesting toned sac

[mbbiker]

I know how this coin toned and will post how in a day or two. Anyone have any ideas AT or real?

Looks like heat damage alright.

Somebody was so disgusted that that they got a Sacagacrappa that they took a blow torch to it....

I have a whitman for Ikes and SBA's there were a few extra holes so i put in a sac rev. up because the rev. looks alot better than the obv. IMO it didn't want to stay in the hole so i got some tape taped it in put it away for about 2 years pulled it out today and presto very interestingly toned sac. The obv. is mostly red with just a hint of blue and the rev. looks exactly like it does in the pic. I figured i'd ask to see if anyone could figure out what happened.

I have seen roll end sacagawea dollars tone with beautiful rainbow colors like that, and I sent one to NGC for grading. It came back as an MS64.

Sacs are very unstable pieces.

 

I got a coin from a certain modern expert in a PCGS MS-67 holder that had a lot of those copper looking rinse spots on the piece. After a year and a half in the slab, the coin had mellowed to a deep gold color, almost completely masking the spots.

It's AT by heat.

looks like it was purposely done.

I've seen many coins that get toning from motor oil. I've got a canadian dime I found on the sidewalk that had been laying in motor oil and has beautiful color. It could easily make a 67 at NGC if it weren't for the oil damage and a huge deep scratch on the obverse.

On the contrary. That's not a natural toning pattern for these, and second of all it's not a natural toning color pattern for these. I have seen firsthand, heat ATed Sac dollars, which produce the same colors as this coin has. What is your basis on your assumption that the toning is realy may I ask?

[BankNote1]

Funny even after you told how this was done several still said heat!! What kind of tape did you use, I need to get some. That color might look good on a Morgan!!
