    1934 S Peace $, Nice key date with lots of meat left on the bone, however seems like the observe has an old cleaning but the reverse has some toning, but very typical coloration of artificial toning.
    Is this an example of AT to cover a cleaning? Or am I just wanting to see things here?

    I see a few hairlines that are going in the same direction, and the reverse is screaming AT. It's also out of focus, which probably was not a mistake.

    It looks as though the toning was applied with a brush.

    Definitely AT, and definitely cleaned. Ghastly looking coin.

    That thing doesn't look right at all. Nothing i can point to specifically at the moment because I'm really tired, but it's giving me an uncanny valley kind of feeling. I'm learning towards counterfeit.

    If you look at the sellers sold items he had a Morgan dollar listed as a 1885 0 that he sold but the photo is a 95 O that looks highly suspect to me.

    The relief just doesn't look right to me. I bet that 34s came from the same place as the 64d in the sellers sold items.

    Nice looking Peace dollar, too bad they ruined it.
