<p>[QUOTE=&quot;poorguy, post: 1111553, member: 29269&quot;]Regarding the halo. True, there are a few naturally toned coins that show this halo. I should have clarified that on a &quot;suspected AT&quot; coin, when you see that halo effect, that should be the nail in the coffin.&quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding the pullaway. You are correct. Some AT coins have the pullaway effect. However, if the coin does not have pullaway effect, then start looking for other characteristics to determine AT/NT This is why this is in the article:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;</p><p style="text-align: center">The vast majority of NT coins have pullaway</p> <p style="text-align: center">Not all NT coins have pullaway</p> <p style="text-align: center">Pullaway on AT coins is nearly non-existant</p> <p style="text-align: center">Coins with pullaway are NEARLY ALWAYS NT</p><p>&quot;</p><p>&quot;Now, I have seen examples of AT coins that have pullaway. However, docs have gotten wind of this characteristic and will buy coins that have some natural toning on them with the pullaway and apply AT or IT processes to put more color on the coin. Always be wary of your AT spidey sense. If you see enough naturally toned morgans, when you see an AT coin, a red flag will go up in your mind and you will know it is AT. Develop this sense and you will be fine. Ignore it, and you will eventually buy an AT coin. &quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe I&#039;ll change the wording of the clip you pulled. Let me do that right now. It now reads: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;A toned Morgan with this characteristic is almost undoubtedly naturally toned as AT and IT methods use accelerated methods to achieve color will generally not display this characteristic. However, just because a Toned Morgan does not have the pullaway effect, does not necessarily mean the coin is artificially toned and inversely, just because a toned morgan exhibits pullaway, does not mean the coin is NT. However, if it does have pullaway, odds are good it is NT but do not let that be the only factor you check when determining AT/NT. &quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is good stuff people. Keep the critiques and corrections coming.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
