    how can you tell this is A.T. ? is it from the pendant thing it's in or was this in an album ?

    Good question. It's just my opinion. It looks like the color progression is "backward". I would expect to see the dark blues/violets on the trailing edge (near the rim) of the toning, not the leading edge (center).

    I could be completely wrong. I freely admit that, but it looks forced to me, which is why I answered AT.

    My opinion doesn't mean it's true....lol. I think it's a cool looking piece. I'm assuming that's a silver coin. I've actually purchased 2 AT toned Morgans on purpose, so I could study them. I'm still WAY short of knowledgeable.

    Did my comment about the progression make sense? It just seems backwards to me.

    not sure about the progression ? I collect mostly world coins, but have a toned coin collection as well. hoping Robek and gbroke and WingedLiberty give their opinions on this coin too.

    I have more questions about A.T. toned coins on this 1 if it is A.T. is it a chemical thing added or heated or album it might have been put in ??? or a combination of all 3 ???

    I think it would be heat and maybe some exposure to sulphur.
