My first thought was dipped and re-toned (AT). The more I look at this coin, the more perplexed I get. It is a very strange coin.
I will point you to this thread that I wrote last year. It should give you an idea of what to look for and what to expect to pay....
Do yourself a favor and stop trying to win an argument. You made a mistake by telling the OP that his coin was counterfeit and that he got ripped...
That is a great idea for a collection, all four with fantastic toning.
T$, There is a specific reason why the slab says SAINT on it. In 1907, both the Liberty Head and Saint Gaudens Double Eagles were minted. PCGS...
Here is my list with photos. 1881-S PCGS MS68 Monster Toned Morgan Dollar (Sunnywood Collection) 1915-S Panama Pacific $50 Octagonal MS64+...
Johnny, I would need better photos of the coins in order to give my opinion about the price, but please take a look at this thread that I started...

My forum activities mirror yours. I lurk on PCGS, have never posted, not even once. I just don't want to get in that many arguments. I post a...
Yes, every other coin forum of which I am a member. This one is by far the most friendly and conducive to learning. Just one question before you...
Tom, I am sorry you feel that way, but this is the poor man's website. Visit the PCGS forum and you will find an abundance of wealth, ego, and...
Dipping a coin removes the layer of silver sulfide (toning) from the surface of a silver coin. As a result, a toned coin can be transformed back...
If you keep making posts like that--I think you will be forced to change your user name.;)
The problem with the Lafayette Dollars in the VF and XF grades is that almost all are problem coins. I think there is definite value in obtaining...
