[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 772042, member: 15199"]I guess I am the exception, I agree with PCGS. Please note I am not saying it is AT, nor that it is not NT, just that it is questionable. My reasons are that although it is predominantly "russet" in color ( just a little blue in the denticles), the tone varies from just preceptible to rather deep with no intervening different color except on the reverse where it domes nearly to dark gray in one spot. It has the appearance of the tone forming at one time rather than over a period of time where the toning conditions would vary and most likely produce several colors of the toning spectrum.
