<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1629400, member: 35227&quot;]I think the main concern for AT is the prominent yellow toning across the surface of the coin. AT coins almost always show some type of gold/yellow toning. While that doesn&#039;t necessarily mean &quot;AT&quot; from the offset, it raises a bit of concern since most yellow/gold-toned NT coins exhibit at least traces of crustiness (since the &quot;gold&quot; toning turns quickly from yellow -&gt; brown/black) Also, the toning pattern is slightly abnormal -- going from (on the obverse rim) green -&gt; pink -&gt; yellow. Here is a PCGS-graded MS66 Roosie dime that exhibits the same type of target toning as yours (graciously photographed by robec), with some slight differences:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://robecsimages.com/photos/cremebrule/cremebrule_1958-DRoosevelt_MS66o1r1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>While the coin&#039;s toning is similar to yours, it exhibits prominent shades of purple and blue within the color spectrum, and yellow is not the prominent color. On the obverse, it exhibits &quot;crusty&quot; gold toning, which is very common to find on (NT) silver coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my two cents![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
