<p>[QUOTE="Markus1959, post: 2049772, member: 73174"]Setting aside the toning propensity of different metals, the coloration itself will almost always help you determine whether you're looking at an NT or AT coin. Most artificially-toned coins have extreme coloration - the motto of the coin doctors seems to be "Go big or go home." A deep blues or purple surface, especially when coupled with abrupt color transitions, is an <b>extremely strong indicator</b> of artificial toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
