<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4572231, member: 26302&quot;]Good information. As someone who used to buy &quot;original&quot; stuff, I see nothing wrong with the OP&#039;s toning. I have many similar coins in old collections. If I saw it, I would not think it was AT unless it was on a coin without luster. That is a silver coin with tons of luster, IMHO that toning can occur naturally.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Just to share the environment I am referring to, I have seen such toning as the OPs coin time and again. Heck, I think I still have a couple of rolls of 62-64 quarters that look like that. They were always very fresh silver, (fully lustrous, BU silver coins), put away in Iowa without humidity protection and in a cardboard rich environment. The same environment RUINED tons of coins next to them, but for some reason the BU 60&#039;s silver quarters toned this way. Like I said, if this was an AU coin or anything other than thick lusterous silver BU coins I would agree with AT suspicion. Maybe the TPGs know that, and simply want to not certify any that look like this, throwing the babies out with the bathwater rather than risking some true AT slipping through the cracks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
