    I see no reason to believe it is AT.

    It looks natural to me and I expect the colors to be somewhat darker (more muted) than in the overexposed GC image.

    Maybe the colors are darker in hand. This is the first time I have seen a Merc with this brilliant of colors. I have purchased many toned Mercs from GC and in hand they usually are very close to the pics posted. I believe this one will look about the same in hand.

    Guess: Roll end in a high sulfur environment for a short time. It's NT because the flow of colors is right.

    It's obviously NT....because a PCGS grader said so! And it deserves the CAC sticker....because CAC trusted the PCGS grader implicitly too. And it will sell for a crazy price.....because a speculator thinks he/she can get more for it. And the next buyer will sell it for an even crazier price....because it has already auctioned for a crazy price once before. And the new owner will send it to NGC and get an Unc details coin back....because they trusted the chain of ownership and documented crazy prices the coin had brought prior.
    D'oh!
    Hot potato, hot potato! :)

    But I think it's neat looking anyway, and if it weren't for the crazy premium I'd love to own it.

    This. I think the images are making it look better than what it probably is.

    I just bid it up to $652, so i think It will go higher. $900 ish is Fair market value.

    I wouldn't doubt there's a sap for it at $900. It's in the coffin. That's all that matters, these days.

    These words are true. I tried to sell a PR64+ 1894 Morgan at the Chicago ANA last year. No dealer wanted it for $4500 (my asking price). So after failing I turned it in for 24 hour regrade at PCGS. They gave it a PR65 and I sold it to the 2nd dealer I showed it to for $7700.

    It's probably a good investment at what bkozak33 has it bid at. He seems to know the market. And it is pretty darn unique-looking.
