<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 458078, member: 15309&quot;]Rusty,</p><p><br /></p><p>The SMS coins from the 60&#039;s toned in absolute crazy ways.&nbsp; I personally don&#039;t know whether or not the coin is AT or NT.&nbsp; The color progression (yellow-magenta-cyan) is correct and it does have a look that is consistent with other SMS coins that are similarly toned but not as outrageous.&nbsp; As far as the colors creeping up over the devices and letters, that, in my experience, is only a really good indicator of AT on bag toned Morgans.&nbsp; Just about every other series of coin, I see the colors go up over the letters.&nbsp; Here is a Roosevelt Dime as an example.&nbsp; Very few people would consider this to be AT but the toning creeps up over the lettering and devices without a break.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Roosevelt%20Dimes/RooseveltDime1955-SNGCMS66Star22-5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if this analogy will help but I will offer it anyway.&nbsp; In poker, when a player bets and then covers their mouth, it is a tell that they are bluffing.&nbsp; This tell is accurate about 80% of the time.&nbsp; The other 20% are just people covering their mouth, not bluffers.&nbsp; So the tell is 80% reliable.&nbsp; AT indicators are also not 100% reliable.&nbsp; Most times, the AT indicator is true, but other times an NT coin will exhibit an indicator of AT even though it is completely original.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that makes trying to determine AT vs NT very frustrating, but that is a fact.&nbsp; Trying to determine AT from NT is extremely difficult even for the most experienced so called experts, and even they get it wrong from time to time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
