<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 630360, member: 15199&quot;]I have several ASE from the late 80-early 90 that I bought in Treasury green lid tubes and left them there. Some of them produced coloration similar to this one, except, it wasn&#039;t corona like, it was unevenly dispersed across the coin and with a deep indigo blue prevalent out of sequence. I think some of the toning aspect is due to the much higher silver % than Morgans. I would bet on some aspect of artificial on this coin, but we have debated many times as to what was AT and what was NT. Intent was often mentioned along with&nbsp; time period.&nbsp; I think it is time that the TPG , with their wide inconsistency in judging it ,start just grading all toned coins<b> technically</b> and not eye appeal basis, and adopt the &quot;don&#039;t ask - don&#039;t tell&quot; the armed services utilizes. It is all chemistry, one way or another.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
