    ok. I just e-mailed the seller and asked him if he thought it was N.T. or A.T. and he said 100% N.T. since he took it directly out of the mint packaging. hmmmm

    I tried to photograph this coin with my iPhone in indirect sunlight yesterday afternoon. I didn't capture it as well as PCGS TrueView did, but not too bad for a hand-held camera phone. My lighting "setup" is quite effective for toners, it's indirect sunlight from above (through 2 skylights in my addition, which you can see reflected in the slab plastic). I cannot make iPhone images nearly this good using artificial light or standing next to a vertical window. Kind of interesting.

    The PCGS sniffer will not detect if a coin is AT. It is used to detect other chemicals used in cleaning or manipulating the metal. Things like puddy, etc.. However, if a regular submission comes back as "questionable color", resubmitting under secure will often lead to it getting slabbed. The extra fee is like hush money.

    I was bored, here's a @Mainebill coin that I have laying around:

    Toning may be a little controversial, what say you?

    I'm always a little surprised how quickly some modern clad coins tone. These 2 coins are not valuable, but I sure like he way they look.
