Nice key date ... is that the original color?
Appears AT to me ... not an expert ... but I wonder about the surfaces.

At
Currency of Laos. 100 At = 1 Kip. I assume you meant something else. |

"AT" means Artificial Toning.
"NT" is Natural Toning

Nice coin. I'd say AT as well though. I've seen my fair share of AT coins, the dramatic color changes + splotchy toning unless otherwise prove able able under a microscope is a sure sign of AT or at least NY that has been sped up in some way (Toning by excessive exposure to sulfur over the span of a few days to a few weeks.)

Wow, that's a stunning coin, AT or no. Hope you're not too sorry to part with it.

$1900 can drown any sorrows I might have had.

I can't say I'd be willing to believe this is natural toning.

The toning sort of reminds me of the kind produced by MS70 when used on a copper coin.

Artificial toning or not.. still a great key date coin, the only one I am missing by the way.  |

Looks artificially toned to me. Are you using the $1900 for more coins?

With key dates, it would be a requirement to have certified by one of the Top III before considering to purchase.
Looks nice, AT or not.
