<p>[QUOTE="rzage, post: 1789102, member: 14070"]Your coin looks like NT to me in your pics . But they're so blurry it's impossible to tell . There are a lot of good threds on N vs. AT . That said NT coins usually have the color in the surface where as some coins have the color look like it was almost painted on . Remember that NT ing is actually the surface molecules of the coin going through a chemical reaction . So when you look at the coin in a good light source and turn the coin the color seems to be almost iridescent . Also the color isn't usually uniform or one color but shades of yellow , blue and red . If all three are present they will seem to blend into each other starting with yellow or gold into red into blue . The best way to learn is to look at as many toned coins as you can . Though so called coin doctors have gotten so good it's almost impossible to tell the difference .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
