Toning Question

[MA_Coins-migration]

Can you guys tell me if this is NT or AT?

I will guess that it is artificial toning. BUT it wouldn't surprise me if there are natural circumstances that would result in that pattern of colors.

The toning does not look right to me, so I say likely AT.

Looks AT......but not so much becausae of the color but rather the way the color appears to lay on the surface. Blue and purple are common AT colors and if I just looked at the reverse I might say album toning as it looks like the coin could have had some legitimate toning and was then played with after the fact?

 

I might feel differently if I had the coin in hand....how's the luster? Nice cartwheel through the toning or does it look somewhat subdued like it does in the picture?

 

Here's a Bag toned blue one I own for comparison....

What is cartwheel?

[kryptonitecomics]

Luster.....if you take an uncirculated coin and rotate it in the light it should have a cartwheel like affect where the luster tends to rotate around the coins surface.

OH Ok.. Then yes it does.. Im just terrible at taking photos of coins.

I will say cleaned and retoned.. based on the last image..... but take it for what it is....

[MA_Coins-migration]

I think Im going to go with AT based on what everyone is saying... I think it looks pretty cool though.

That 1880s Looks ALOT better though!
