<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 920771, member: 15199&quot;]Being that this coin started in a cellophane package and probably stayed in it for many years before being broken out, the toning pattern is consistent with a small pin hole or tear in the wrapping on the one edge. If a pinhole, it could take years to tone. This is conjecture I feel is reasonable based on common proof sets. My concern is that those I have seen like this had more yellow/gold tone on the rest of the coin. Generally russet and cyan would be of a less proportion in my estimate. I believe it is market acceptable also, and no one can tell if AT or NT, unless they have provenance of prior treatment or condition. The best study coins are those that are TPG labeled as AT or such. They may not really be so, but they are market unacceptable and that is the primary concern.IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
