I see a couple hits on her face. The toning is very nice and my pics don't do it justice.

I think the toning is natural... It's beautiful!
Rest in Peace

I would say MS-63. I think dipped and retoned but the toning doesn't scream "AT" so I think it can pass as natural. Nice coin.

Cleaned/ retoned. Dipped a bit too long, IMHO, but still might pass as an okay coin.

Toning is original, the surfaces like to tone over after a dip.

Connor - tell us about the luster. Any breaks as you rotate it at an angle?

I'm not convinced its MS. could be a slider. the wing tip may have some light wear on it. in any case I think it was dipped and not washed off completely resulting in the rainbow toning over time.

MS63, artificially toned or cleaned/retoned. It does NOT look ofiginal to me. The strike is terrible and dead flat even by New Orleans standards.

Does have some nice clash reverse/obverse.

The color progression is wrong. It also has a neon look to it that is not natural. AT.

The toning should start with gold, not magenta.

AU-58 and the toning looks like a heat treatment. I'm not seeing any of the dark blue that is normally on naturally toned coins.
