https://www.ebay.com/itm/227374463886I say AT *Reason. According to my studies, the color progression breaks and is uneven and also the ear has the color progressing. I read that the color should stay the same usually around the ear due to the high point? Maybe I read wrong. I almost bought Edited by newtraffic2

Would it grade?
No. The pattern of the colors are off.
What is your reason why it is AT or NT?

Looks like artificial toning to me. If seller's are shady enough, they'll heat the coin with a flame to artificially tone it.
Errers and Varietys.

No such thing as AT or Natural toning .
What matters is..
will it be market acceptable?
Probably not!
In old time collections , you will find silver coins
that look exactly like the original posted piece .
They were stored in old sulfur laden , brown Kraft flips.

The coin is AT. The monster toners that have found their way into a TPG holders typically do not have the same type of toning on both sides of the coin. |

100% unnatural toning. Seller listing title and description says it's "MS", ebay description says it's "Ungraded - Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated". It can't be both. |

Most likely scenario is It'll come back "Unc Details - Questionable Toning" if you send it in for certification.
