<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 576924, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;m no expert on these but I think color pattern, or unnaturally bright colors.&nbsp; After you look at so many of them, you get used to what&#039;s &#039;normal&#039;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then you&#039;ll see one that just doesn&#039;t look right and most likely it&#039;s AT.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some, I can&#039;t tell.&nbsp; Some are unique.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Some coins in general seem to not have had a tendency to tone.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; For example, a lot Morgans were stored in canvas bags for decades so there&#039;s a lot of toned examples.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Peace dollars on the other hand, are almost never found with toning.&nbsp; Any toned Peace dollar would be suspect to me.&nbsp; The one shown earlier in this thread was likely AT.&nbsp; As someone mentioned, there was an evident cleaning underneath.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then AT&#039;d to cover it up.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Another example is the Ike in this thread with the purple ring around the edge.&nbsp; You almost never see those toned.&nbsp; And there&#039;s a guy on ebay selling gobs of coins, (Morgans, Franklin halves, Walkers, quarters, etc...)&nbsp; which all have the same, exact purple ring around the edge, front and back.&nbsp;&nbsp; This seems to be a common AT these days.&nbsp; People buy them up.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; On some loose coins, if it looks burnt, supposedly they will smell burnt, if they were heated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
