Monster Toned Peace Dollar NT or AT

Already slabbed but the colors look kinda suspicious to me. I guess it they could be legit but the colors are ones we typically see on AT. What do yall think of the coin NT or AT?

I'm going to say NT

 

Pastel tones are often found on peace dollars. The Peace dollar does not tone the same as what you would find on a Morgan

 

I wouldn't bid on it. And over graded IMO.

 

The colour do look strange to me. the Colour desigation is a strange one and from what I have seen not consistent(it is the most subjective details category after all). That it in a slab with a straight grade right now so no risk unless you crack out for an upgrade

 

Naturally toned, but I think the toning is ugly. Pass.

 

Never in my life have I seen that color scheme on a Peace Dollar, I say QT for sure.

 

Golly, wouldn't it be great if PCGS's cert verification gave you at least a thumbnail image of the actual coin, so you could see whether it was those colors when it went into the slab?

I haven't looked at many heavily-toned Peace dollars, so I won't venture an opinion, I guess.

 

Possibly questionable but it passed muster at pcgs. So market acceptable. I like it actually

 

I'm a little surprised that one passed.
I certainly wouldn't have paid much over 20 dollars if I had found it raw.

 

Wow. The lengths people go for a very common date coin because of toning. Which is far from dramatic. Not this guy.

 

Coins from certain series typically follow certain color schemes. An atypical color scheme deserves a higher level of scrutiny in regards to the originality of the toning. An atypical color scheme on a Peace Dollar is almost certain to be artificial and should be treated as questionable toning.

David Hall’s statement that all rainbow toned Peace Dollars are AT was hyperbolic but he was referring to coins just like this one. You asked me what if I had seen 3 or 10, my answer would be a question, over what time period? If I had seen this color scheme sporadically over years of searching toned Peace Dollars, the color scheme would no longer be atypical. If I found 3 or 10 of these all in a short time period, that would bolster the feeling that they were AT.

My disclaimer is that these photos are really bad and the coin might not look anything like what we are seeing. That said, if this coin is blanketed in bright green and pink, the toning is invariably questionable.

 

Agreed! BTW my uncle was in the 101st, KIA Bastogne Belgium in early January 1945.

 

If the TPG didn't find it odd , then why question it? Are you concerned with it being counterfeit? Look up the TPG number. They often have photos attached. If you like it at that price then get it and be thankful for your good fortune.

 

Because it might have been gassed in the slab.

Not this one.

 

Because blindly accepting the opinion of a TPG is what the kool-aid drinkers do. The fact that PCGS straight graded this toned Peace Dollar has given it a measure of "market acceptability" that it doesn't deserve IMO. So while the toning on this coin has passed muster at PCGS, it hasn't met my personal standards, therefore I would never buy this coin at anything above spot silver. To me, this is a details grade common date Peace Dollar.

 

I agree with Lehigh96, very well said. In my opinion, good luck

 

@Lehigh96
Once again thanks for the informational comments. I am learning lots from what you provide.

@-jeffB what do you mean by gassed? First I hear of such thing
