I'm 99.9% sure this coin is blatant AT but wanted some other opinions. Not going to name the seller or the listing number, but seller has/had quite a few other Morgans listed with this type of over-the-top toning on the obverse and some on the reverse (!) I've got a feeling that a large number of bidders are about to get rude surprises but maybe I'm wrong and this is legit...Cascade? Dave? Thoughts?

Im not Dave or Csscade, but this looks very similar to one I bought that was thought to be AT. My hunch is it is AT.

What does reverse look like?

Looks like AT to me, doesn't look like any color pattern that is shown on the toning patterns

Agree with AT. Even if it was album toning it wouldn't be as blatant as this

No elevation chromatics, no pull away on stars, date and motto near the rim, my money is on AT.

Low feedback seller had 10 or more of these listed, almost all of them sold for way over what they'd bring normally. According to the seller, coins were stored in Wayte Raymond album.

I'll post this listing ID since the auctions are no longer active. If anyone wants to research, they can probably find the other sold listings.

The album looks like a 1960's Library of Coins.

AT ...
but not sure how it would have happened.

Many years ago I gave my mother some coins. She kept them in
a drawer. The same drawer that had her perfume. All the BU
coins in that drawer ended up with wild colors.

This coin reminds me of them.
