T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 08:41 am And my vote is genuine tone . If someone tried to produce an AT they would have done a better job with a lot more crazy colors . Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7190 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 2:19 pm Looks like someone sneezed on it. I usually like bluing but this does not do it for me. Report this Post to the Staff
mdh157 Pillar of the Community United States 952 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 2:48 pm This time of year someone sneezing on anything is entirely possible! Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 01/24/2019 3:15 pm Agree with mdh. Also, looking at the enlarged photo, full bell lines? Unless concealed by the glare. These command a higher price. Nice coin! ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/25/2019 6:02 pm Just natural toning. Report this Post to the Staff
Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 01/25/2019 7:16 pm I am leaning toward artificial. I've seen too many gassed Ikes with this same blotchy blue color. However, the color isn't spread all over the coin either, which is typical of AT coins. Edited by Darth Morgan 01/25/2019 7:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
