QT to me.

In hand I would call this NT because I have seen similar hues on KHD silver proofs just not over the entire coin. I say in hand bc the beauty shots make it look insane.

 

Proofs can have weird toning sometimes.

So, NT.

 

It's the blue and purple plus the spots that make me say AT/QC.

 

This particular color scheme would lend one to assume that the coin is AT/QC but considering that the coin is a 40 year old silver proof, it seems much more likely that it is NT/MA. Additionally, the oversized photos accentuate the color by using diffused lighting, and the slab photo surely presents a more accurate view of the coin, and the slab photo does scream AT. I can see how this coin could go either way, but for me, I'm calling it NT/MA.

 

KHD AT.

 

AT Kennedy

 

That blue thing is not natural.

Floor is open....

 

@kSigSteve what is the grade?

Those rims also look interesting....

As for the color, I’d say MA/NT

 

NT/MA
No doubt those rims are sharp.

 

Grade is 66. I never threw a good curve ball as a pitcher..

 

Looks a lot like my MPL, 66BN. I say MA/NT

 

NT/MA, do you really think this coin is AT?

 

ma

 

I definitely think the coin is NT.

I was hoping nobody would pick up on the MPL and thought I would see some AT guesses thrown out there. It was intended to be a curveball. Instead it was knocked out of the park..

Next.

 

Yeah, that’s really tough. I had to study two beautiful Proof Lincoln cents. Darn my luck.

 

A few of the 1909 diagnostics are easily seen. No way you would sneak this coin by.
