Featured The Slabbed (NGC/PCGS) AT-QT (Artificial/Questionable Toning) Thread

I have to go QC. To me, the neon pink and green on the Reverse looks like some amount of heat was applied. Just my opinion.

QT

 

I wouldn't buy those colors on any coin. Natural to it's environment or not.
AT/QT

 

NT/MA

 

Everyone of my has some toning

 

I'm at NT. I'll guess it was once in some type of plastic holder with a cardboard gasket.

 

I think it natural due to storage. But I don’t find it the least bit attractive

 

Anyone else? It seems like we went over 24 hours with Mainebill's vote, so let's give this until the top of the hour until I call it officially.

Well @Mainebill broke the tie on the last Kennedy. That was our closest NT winner yet (we had an AT winner decided by one vote too-Coin #8).

I'm split on this coin but would have leaned towards AT. Either way I don't find it super attractive.

-----

Floor is open....

 

I am AT/QC on this one. Any time I see spotting or evidence of a foreign substance on a coin I back away from the thought of original toning.

 

I’m not a 100% sure on this one (nor was PCGS ), but it does not look obviously AT. I’ll steer towards
MA

 

I can see some people wanting this coin and bidding accordingly. No idea if NT or AT but my vote is MA. (If AT it's one of the better jobs)

 

NT/MA

 

MA

 

This coin again.

PCGS vote was 4 times to 1. With 4 times being MA.

I’ll go MA too and also think they should update their photo definition of QT.

 

I don't see anything obviously suspicious about it, so I'll go MA.

Was that 1 time during there "There are no Naturally Toned Rainbow Peace Dollars. EVER!" phase? That was one of their more ridiculous proclamations.

 

Not sure when but it was one of their plate coins for AT. See thread here:
https://www.cointalk.com/threads/well-that-is-awkward.328022/

 

I just think it looks strange. and the gunk on the reverse looks like some chemical leakage. So I vote QT.
