What's grade would you give this, and do you think the reverse is AT or NT?

That was my first thought too - but I still think it's cool, and the price was right (free) :)

oh yeah it is a very nice coin and if I was to try and give it a grade I would say AU 55 maybe MS. But like I said I'm new at this. And you cant beat that price lol.

This coin looks great, but it's hard to tell if it NT or AT. The actual colors make me feel AT, but I"ve seen similar colors, though not quite as vibrant on a morgan I own that I believe to be NT. It's funny with AT and NT, the only real difference most of the time is the process used, not the actual chemical reaction. The only real difference is whether induced naturally or artificially, but I feel good arguments can be that any toned coin is natural due to chemical processes. The fact it's only on one side make me feel NT, but the complete lack of toning on the obverse makes me feel AT. The randomness of the colors and pattens also make me feel AT, but you never know.

I believe its NT because I have seen tons of videos online about artificially toning a coin and this color pattern is so much more different in the way the colors are laid out. Usually if you tone it yourself you won't get as many different colors laid out in different areas like the coin shown in the picture. Just my .02

I fear that the fabulous color toning can only be temporary over the long term.
Often, beauty is a very delicate thing.
Perhaps that can be preserved with an acrylic laquer coating.

"Beauty is a flower, fading seen, duty faith and and love are evergreen"

The 'W' in 'WE' looks mangled, and there is a nick on Roosie's cheek. Something has kissed it, and I dont think it was Eleanor.
