Here are three coins from my collection. Just guess which are AT. http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/4c602cff76f547828ba45843eab3b91a http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/af995150001b42d689e352f39c060458 http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/eff7611b9b20432aac4e26e1d6e0a2de http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/99241be30a4945c1a8a90dba88da9a2f http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/42fdcc395de3460d935968099a189ed8 http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/a5e8dc3cdcf2482497ed533ac4fc94dc
At first they all seemed to have a heat treatment look to them. Unless the pics are misleading there doesn't seem to be much other color then red in there, except for the quarter, which appears to have maybe been in a coin book at one time. Circulated coins IMHO don't make for great toners. Maybe because they have been exposed to perspiration among other things. Tough question, can't wait to heard the answer. Allen
Whatever. I'll just tell you guys. They are all ATd. Only the top two are heat treated. The quarter was painted with bleach. Thanks for guessing.
You should have let this bait soak in the water for a little while longer.... I was gonna guess #1 and #2. #3 looked questionable, but wasn't sure. That said, the pics make determining NT/AT even more difficult than it is with the coin in-hand (dicey)....Mike
Not a bad thing. I was the one who did it as an experiment last year. I have some more difficult to tell ones too.
Yep more time needed , I was going to say the Washington for sure , the top two I wasn't sure about but thought they looked Baked , AJ gave a good suggestion awhile ago , take a roll of garbage pre '82 cents and destroy them , he meant bake them , dip them , whizz them anything you can think of , then you'll know what they look like , I'm going to get a roll of pre '64 qaurters and do the same thing . rzage
I have tested out more than a roll of pre-82's. I'll never get burned on a copper for cleaning or artificial toning if I see it in hand. Silver, I'm better than my local dealer at it.

that Columbian doesn't look bad , Morgan definately looks AT ,What happened to the Morgan? rzage:whistle:
every last one of them. Why are you trying it on so many coins? You trying to become a coin doc? The method you are using is very crude and will not replicate natural toning so why waste your time ruining coins?
I actually think circulated toners are very cool and they are super hard to find. Here are a few of my best
First off, your guess is off, second, I don't do it anymore. I did it last year to learn how to detect it and now I know.
Try to guess this one. http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/48ac2a6d544344459db81824c1baa111 http://api.photoshop.com/home_265fc...be-px-assets/205ee4261fb547a0b8b7abb5ec373adc
