The obverse sure looks AT'd to me. Either way, I don't find this appealing.

Actually, I think it's natural, but would get AT'd at a TPG, or to clarify, would be given an AT Designation at a TPG. |

Natural toning, but that does not matter since there is too much overlap in the results.
The correct answer: this is not market acceptable toning.

Grape, isn't ANACS a TPG? Looks cool to me, but if raw I would have guessed AT. |

@jbucks what do you mean by too much overlap in the results?

Natural, but the seller has put this under a nuclear powered lamp so don't expect it to look like that. In hand, it will probably look like dark toning with just a hint of color.

@suipakpaikungfu, ANACS is a TPG. I meant a more, well, major TPG (NGC/PCGS). |

I think the photo was juiced a little. Toning probably is not as bold in hand.

@jbucks what do you mean by too much overlap in the results? A large majority of toning cannot be attributed as natural or artificial. Toning is a chemical process. More often than not, how that process unfolded is unknown unless you were there to observe it. The coin either looks appealing (acceptable) or not. |

You can slow it down with proper isolation and storage, but it is quite possible your heirs will not see the same coin you see. |
