AT or NT? Your opinions on this Kennedy...

Looks more like environmental damage to me, but clearly the coin has seen some type of moisture so I vote AT. Now it may have been in an envolope or something that got wet inadvertantly....but again the toning pattern is just a little too bizzare for me to vote natural.

 

I actaully like the coin though and if the price was right.....would not have hesitated to pull the trigger on that one

NT, but ugly.

NT, but ugly.

 

I agree.... I would not give a premium for it... but then again to each his own....

Hayden-----I see the vote is now tied at 5 each----Proves once again that pictures---any pictures----will probably bring uncertainty into the picture [no pun intended]. Anyway, like Shane, I cannot see this as NT. And agree, it could be water damage. But most likely just someone fooling around. I am always suspicious of coins in the modern era looking like this. It seems if the coin has a value of 50 bucks or less----people will try anything to make it a winner. Strange how you almost never see a truly "rare" coin looking like this---is it not?? Anyway, I say AT all the way. Bob [supertooth]

Pretty hard to tell if it is AT or NT....but it sure looks damaged. The colors also look funny, and not very eye appealing to me. But if it makes you happy to look at it then I'm happy for you.

I'm thinking environmental damage as well.

If it was someones try at AT, they did a rotten job.

If the colors are somewhat accurate then it is ugly and NT.

I voted for artificial toning, because those look like watercolors to me, just not right. It may indeed be due to a natural storage process, but even natural storing of coins can result in what would be deemed artificial toning.

IMHO, the straitions below Kennedy's neck look like brush marks from someone sloppily applying chemicals to the coin. Colors do not look natural to me.
