Here's my 2002. I'm sure it's an AT.  |

A lot of those AT Eagles are airbrushed.

10 years! Wow...it should have been be over the top years ago. I just leave mine sitting on a file cabinet in the computer room and nature does the rest...nothing artificial needed Try another ASE....that partial fingerprint on the reverse and the WAY too pristine center to 5 0'clock tells me something might have been put on the coin or otherwise cleaned at some time...or there are oils on the coin (from handling) preventing toning Cleaned coins do not tone evenly and if they tone the results can be unpleasant Edited by Foxwoods Man

Shouldn't artificially toned coins be graded as "Details"? I mean the coin was "damaged" by the actions of a person, kind of like a cleaning or polishing.

Leaving a coin out in the air to tone naturally does not make it artificial toning....it's what silver does.
Now... helping the process along with "things" would change the issue.

Yeah a silver coin from 2014 will not have Super Tone by itself by 2015. No chance at that. But does look nice

No way a 2014 has super rainbow concentric circles around the center only in 1 year by being handled normally. So is it a "details" coin at that point if graded? That was the question.

The pattern is not what you should be focusing on. Its the type of color & progressions of those colors that hold the truth. Once you study true progressions and the stage of those progressions most AT coins will jump out at you like a $20 bill printed on cardstock!

A raw Silver Eagle has no numismatic value so ATing one will do nothing negative to the value. It was and still is worth 1 ounce of silver. But...it looks like people are paying a premium for some of the better looking toned examples.

True, A 2014 doesn't have any premium yet, but ones from the 80s and 90s are selling for quite a bit more than bullion value. |
