It's always a coin toss with the TPGs as to color and toning, if it comes back questionable toning crack it out and send it in again, eventually it would probably end up in a holder with out any issues, or better yet (I know the TPGs deny this but...) submit through a larger volume dealer that does a lot of business with them and your chances will be better.

It looks fine to me, I think it would grade problem free.

Whether it would come back as natural or AT I cannot say, but personally I like the look of the coin.

Answer next week!

PS - edweather: The connotation of an ANACS slab is not very good in my opinion. Their grading standards have wandered all over the place in the last 20 years. Many auction houses will not take them. And Rick Snow, for example, will not affix a Photo Seal to them. The general perception of many collectors, in my experience, is that ANACS slabs are a cut below PCGS and NGC.

You know, it's kinda funny. It's graded BN, when there is absolutely nothing brown about this coin! I know, I know, BN means little or no red. But there ought to be an additional designation for coins like this,

That's fantastic and a beautiful coin! PCGS is grading EVERYTHING "Questionable Color" these days, so you did well to choose another TPG. And the Eagle Eye seal, Nice!

Beautiful! I think you're right they should have more options for the initials after the grade to specify the color on interestingly toned copper. I would say this one's MS 65 BG (blue-gold)
