    I have this coin in hand now. Pictures were juiced. Still not a bad coin. In the "right light" you can see the colors they portrayed in the pictures, but not at a quick glance. Still, it's an MS-coin (MS-64ish) with acceptable toning. The edge is starting to blacken, so I'm going to place my money on it being NT in an album. I think PCGS might be taking a look at this one in the near future.

    Is that green toning on there, or just reflection from you taking the picture? If green, that's real neat and interesting, I really like it.

    Edit - I also just noticed the doubling on "RIB", but can't tell whether it's MDD or true DDO from the pic. Nice!

    I believe there is toning, but I think the green color is a photo reflection. The actual toning is probably around the rim. Should come in tomorrow so I will keep you posted.

    Actually, it's not juiced at all. That image you posted is direct light.
    That's why I included these images in my listing:

    I am also confident it is natural toning. :thumb:
    Hopefully PCGS will agree and consider it market acceptable.

    What are you saying Matthew? The source was me. I didn't see he posted this until today.
    If it's AT, i didn't do it, and it certainly doesn't look like the usual AT ikes i see all over the place.
    It has all the signs of NT to me. Yu have seen this coin and commented on it a couple times on CT. I have personally had it for three years.

    I was referring to this coin here and only saying it looked eerily similar to the ones listed by this AT coin maker which later on i posted about, im not saying either way natural or not on this one just that i have seen similar AT toned ones and if he bought if from that particular seller its probably AT.

    What do you think of this one?

    Seller had some other misc bullion, but no toners. So I thought I would snag it for $15 delivered. It's silver.

    LMAO i tagged that one and watched it, i didn't bid on it though. Interestingly enough the seller says he has the packaging from which it came and i would think depending on the packing its NT.

    I didnt bid on it because it looks to have a rim ding or something between B and E, could just be the pics let us know when it comes?

    lol. Well thanks for not bidding. I wasn't going over $12 anyway. I'll snap some photos and we can see what's up.

    Also, i thought this was funny from the seller: "Would say it is BU IMO."

    I went back and looked again. Must have missed those. Still really like the coin. Excited to see what PCGS has to say.

    I was ready to bid until i saw that quote... If you have the original packaging, and you are the one that pulled it out, the why aren't you positive it is uncirculated...
    Made me scratch my head and keep moving.
