Typecoin that is very beautiful. Yes that combination is possible, but you don't see it very often. I too owned one, she ended up in the Northern Lights collection and I do miss her.  |

I'm going to go with AT . And if so it would dismiss a straight grade . Dumb on there part because this coin with full head ,full hand ,virtual full breast feathers and nice leg feathers a virtual no problem coin might have fetched MS-66 straight . I admit looks pretty but I'd rather have it in blast white ,than AT .  |

Gorgeous , looks like it was in an old Whitman for a very long time . I am on the side of natural or Market acceptable Toning. Nice coin for the price! I agree. It looks like market acceptable album or folder toning. I think "natural or artificial" is misleading. Toning is a chemical process and we are actually discussing the degree of human intervention. Technically, putting in and album and leaving it alone is still unnatural.  |

That is a very pretty one! I am also leaning towards AT, the toning on both sides are just too identical and evenly spread. My thinking exactly. |

Wow , just about a 50/50 vote on AT or NT . Have we heard from all the Rainbow toning experts yet ?  |

I think we may have a problem with elevation chromatics. Look at the same blue at very different levels, on the highest devices as well as the field.

Looks natural to me another thing to consider is something could have been on the coin as well and was removed. I think album toning it's nice regardless of NT or AT

Elevation chromatics and progression are difficult to nail down when only one set of images is available and the environment causes the toning to be rapid. I'm trying to break myself of "AT/NT" in favor of "market acceptable/not" since it's trivial to duplicate NT at will, and I feel this one market acceptable.

Have to go with AT as well. Just to good to be true.

 This has been a wonderful exercise for me in trying to discuss why something appears AT or NT. After looking at toned coins for years it is often easy to at least have a feel for when something looks wrong, but not always so easy to say why. Thanks, TypeCoin. Edited by hadleydog
