<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 856123, member: 15309&quot;]They look both AT and photoshopped to me.&nbsp; Anytime you see a coin on an empty background, the photo has been edited via software.&nbsp; Just about everyone who knows how to crop &amp; cut coin images to an empty background also knows how to make basic image adjustments to color and saturation.&nbsp; I have no problem with the use of these photo editing tools as I use them myself.&nbsp; However, I use them to make the coin look like it looks in hand, not just to make the coin look better.&nbsp; Over-saturating coin photos is a very common trick used in the coin business and very easy to spot once you have enough experience to know what each series typically looks like with toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will admit that I don&#039;t collect either series, but I have never seen those color progressions on those series before.&nbsp; That leads me to believe they are probably AT and have definitely been edited.&nbsp; FWIW, he may have over-saturated the photos slightly, but it is definitely not egregious.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS.&nbsp; I can&#039;t prove the coins are AT.&nbsp; It is my opinion that they are questionably toned and are not market acceptable and both PCGS and NGC would most likely details/genuine grade the coins for artificial toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
