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

MA in my opinion

The ones that I’ve seen baked (from the same eBay seller that seems to have dozens of IHCs and Lincoln Cents) had more of a blue/purple tint

QC that pastel toning is usually found only on 43 steel. And Nickel.

 

As a side note, that Peace Dollar sold for just over $200

 

Mountainmike . How do I know EXACTLY who you are referring too. They all look the same and they are some quality dates and grades in newer NGC slabs

 

PCGS calling that toning on that Lincoln Questionable is ridiculous IMO given the some of the crap they’ve put in problem free holders. I’m so strongly in the MA camp on this one that I’m just gonna call it NT.

 

MA

 

Yep; he seems to have auctions running weekly so it’s become hard to miss if one does an eBay search for toners on a regular basis.

 

The cent is solidly MA.

 

I would have thought so as well since I sent this one along too and it straight graded in a 65rb holder

 

I'd call the 49-S more QC than the 44-S

If others want, we can also comment on the 49-S....my thought is QC

 

At some point it would be fun to see to date which coins were thought to be QC and which were NT/MA.
Maybe in a file, I am not capable of doing it so I thought I would throw it out there. It would be cool to see if there is some kind of pattern.

 

Do you mean take the list we currently have and add all the photos together?
If so, that sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure I want to do that project though (at least not currently). Maybe we can find a volunteer?

 

I’m calling both ma

 

I just made it back to my computer. Looking at photos from my cheap cell phone is for the birds.
Not to be to critical but how did the 44 get a MS66 in the first place? What is that on Lincolns cheek, jaw, and above the ear?
If that is toning then it is terminal, Not only that but look at the rim by the last T in TRUST.

 

QC on both Cents.

 

Any other thoughts?

 

nt/ma on the 49 s

 

The 49 s is MA to me, but I think it had some assistance, based on humid storage conditions.
