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.

I was wondering about that as soon as Chase007 made his first comment. There is practically no change in the color regardless of elevation.

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.
