It is beautiful but at first I thought is was AT but looking at it closer it very well could be naturally toned but I'd really have to see it in hand. Look closely at the top and bottom fields of the obverse and reverse. The toning is similar and thats what made me think different. I love toned coins and have bought both types. Those that I know were AT (doctored) and those that were naturally toned. I would suggest you do a little research and become familiar with both so that you will be more informed.

I like it

I am leaning toward natural toning. To me it looks like it was in a album
or some type of cardboard holder.

Congratulations. Nice pick up. The toning is album not AT. Later Franklin's seem to get this target tone easier than earlier Franklin's. Good luck finding more.

I'm put off by the reverse. I am not sure on the authenticity of the toning. Not sure.

Very nice!

I agree, toning looks okay, like it had been in an older album. Does not really mater if you did not pay too much for the privilege.

Heck, I'd pay $12 for it. I'm iffy on whether it's AT or not. I'm leaning toward AT, though.
