Featured The Slabbed (NGC/PCGS) AT-QT (Artificial/Questionable Toning) Thread

MA, near terminal toning on the obverse....hard to fake.

If I have to make a call, I'll say the toning has gone too far past optimal but is still NT

 

Ive seen a few of the tab toned Roanokes.
Ive also seen the packaging these came in. I think it is NT

Next up is this Peace Dollar.
Feel free to guess the sale price too, just for fun.

 

MA. Too much for me to spend. That's a fact.

 

AT all day

 

Blatant AT. It was insane that someone paid $4300 for that.

 

It isn't even pretty. Yuck!

 

AT here.

 

MA

I can see where some people would have an interest in this coin.

Not me, doesn't look right, but some people.

 

AT
If it smells like a rat.....

 

It's KFC.

 

I have to agree, AT. And it's in a secureplus holder, so the sniffer didn't pick up anything. Maybe it had a cold.

 

I'm thinking extreme heat.

 

maybe a cold with a high fever!

That was the price and it was insane...the guy on IG that sent it to GC did very well. The final price certainly shocked me.

 

How about this Peace Dollar?
And remember, please post if you want to go next.

 

I'll say NT on this one. Would love to know how it was stored pre-slab. Odd obverse pattern.
