<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2364542, member: 19165&quot;]The first coin is not AT at all. It is completely consistent with known toning patterns. It is unusual, and will not appeal to everyone - but it appears completely natural. This type of toning is often seen with an end-of-roll toner, or one that has been stored with tissue paper. The progression and shades of colors all appear correct, and I have absolutely no problem calling this one NT. It isn&#039;t my preferred look, so I wouldn&#039;t buy it myself - but sometimes we confuse &quot;I&#039;m not familiar with that&quot; or &quot;I don&#039;t like that&quot; with &quot;it must be artificial.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is gorgeous, and much more the commonly seen style of toning. I have absolutely no questions about the naturalness of this toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the other thing compounding the confusion is the style of photography here. The photographs are taken in a very vibrant style. I hesitate to say that they are &quot;juiced,&quot; but I&#039;ll wager the coins don&#039;t &quot;pop&quot; quite so much in hand. If you saw these coins in hand, I think the colors would be more subdued (especially on the first one).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
