<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1498796, member: 11854"]I've been around the toned coin market <i>forever </i> and one thing I can tell you is that the determination of AT and NT is often times based upon likelihood or, to put it another way, probability. There are certain "looks" that coins receive from storage via different methods just as their are "looks" from various forms of manipulation. Based upon the metal, age, grade and series one can, with experience, get pretty darn good at determining AT vs. NT even before one takes into account the exact colors that will appear on a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>The JFK in the images looks to be an original AU/BU.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
