Wow, that's a stunning coin, AT or no. Hope you're not too sorry to part with it.

$1900 can drown any sorrows I might have had.

I can't say I'd be willing to believe this is natural toning.

The toning sort of reminds me of the kind produced by MS70 when used on a copper coin.

Artificial toning or not.. still a great key date coin, the only one I am missing by the way.  |

Looks artificially toned to me. Are you using the $1900 for more coins?

With key dates, it would be a requirement to have certified by one of the Top III before considering to purchase.
Looks nice, AT or not.

Wonder how much it would have gone for if slabbed by PCGS or NGC?

I'm guessing this would slab as a Questionable Color Details coin. If we stipulate that it's Uncirculated (not positive) and the B in VDB is correct (can't tell from the images) so it's genuine, the end result is about a $1000 coin. Although the details seem appropriate, the imagery is tilted so specific relationships can't be discerned for sure. It resembles Mint Mark #2, looks good for rotation, location (with that caveat) and appearance. I'm kinda bothered by the VDB, aside the aforementioned concern with the B - a vertical line drawn through the left edge of the N in CENT should just barely miss hitting the B in VDB. This one doesn't seem quite right, but the angle of the image might explain it. Pretty good example why only the experts should be buying this one raw. It might be a slam-dunk 64RB, therefore a $3000 coin, or it might be a fake. There's no way to tell from the available evidence, and yes, I ran down the auction. |

Currently looking @ purchasing one priced at $1500.00 MS-64RB PCGS. Didn't do it, still chewing on it, probably be gone by the time I get my head straight. |

I have one of those inherited from my grandfather's collection... Is it worth getting graded? Its not uncirculated, but its not total garbage either. |

With the proliferation of fakes on the market it is wise to get anything of significant value TO YOU authenticated. Your heirs will appreciate it. The guy they sell it to won't because he can't use the "it might be counterfeit" excuse to lowball his offers.
