    Looking at this Bay Bridge, and I'm curious as to what you guys would grade it. It's in an ICG slab, which doesn't worry me too much, but additional opinions would be nice. The color looks NT to me, but again, would like a 2nd opinion. If I get it, I may resubmit to NGC, and wouldn't want to lose the straight grade. Thanks in advance.

    AT if it makes you pass on it ;)

    In all seriousness, the toning looks ok to me (NT or at least market acceptable).

    As for grade, I think it is comparable to the 65 that I have of this commem, but may have a few more hits on the bear...so 63-64

    Very Purdy! I don't know about grading but looks NT to me. :)

    I've never seen this type before but it's VERY cool.

    Thanks,

    It might go thru as NT but I am not sure if all the toning is NT... There is some for sure, but that green is not what I would be wanting in a NT coin, and seems more likely with AT. Now if what I am seeing as a green is actually more yellow in hand, I might be more likely to say NT. Pretty coin, though and the toning is nice to look at.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    That toning looks perfectly natural to me. This is the sort of toning I'd expect to see from an old album, like a Dansco or something.

    That obverse is especially attractive.
