<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 549239, member: 15309&quot;]That dealer is absolutely trying to swindle you.&nbsp; This coin has AU details minimum and might actually be mint state, but it is very hard to tell from those photos.&nbsp; It is also difficult to determine the actual color scheme from those photos.&nbsp; The reverse looks OK, but the obverse will almost certainly body bag for artificial toning even if the toning was actually caused by improper storage in your attic.&nbsp; That combination of blue and violet with no progression or depth is not found on naturally toned coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the fact that it will probably body bag, you should still probably send the coin to PCGS and roll the dice.&nbsp; It will at least slab as genuine with AU/MS details and if the color is attractive, it will probably still sell for several hundred dollars even if it is a problem coin.&nbsp; If the photos are making the toning look worse than it actually is, the coin might actually grade out giving you a fairly valuable coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>My suggestion is to send the coin to PCGS to obtain a minimum grade of genuine and give the coin authentication.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please don&#039;t listen to T$&#039;s comment about NGC being more accepting of AT coins than PCGS, that is an opinion not based on facts.&nbsp; And whatever you do, don&#039;t sell the coin to that dealer for $100.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
