[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3334228, member: 15309"]The bizarre pattern is precisely why I think it is NT. Are we to believe that the supposed coin doctor was so sloppy as to tone a coin that had a clear impediment to toning at the periphery? To my eye, the coin experienced some very unusual storage condition but I see nothing about the color or depth of color that would lead me to say AT. Perhaps the coin had something holding it around the periphery and was then placed in an envelope. Regardless, I don’t see anything that rises to the level of AT. The toning isn’t deep enough to hide any flaws and isn’t dramatic enough to drive a price premium.
