[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2122685, member: 15309"]David, How are you coming to the conclusion that those 4 coins are AT? Within the confines of this thread, we have seen that it is impossible to determine the originality of toning with 100% certainty. In addition, we have seen coins graded by the TPGs which are indeed AT. The only 2 coins that I think we can definitively call AT are coins #5 and #7. Coin #5 because no Morgan Dollar tones like that. The colors are wrong as are the progressions. But even that coin has some indicators of NT. It is obviously supposed to be an EOR toned Morgan, but if the colors in that photo are accurate, there is no way it is anything but AT. The other coin is #7, the 1965 Kennedy Half Dollar. The reason I called that coin AT was because I used to own it, and that is my photograph.
