<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 351220, member: 11521&quot;]I agree. That looks like AT to me. It&#039;s not a bad job either. The yellows in the recesses of Liberty&#039;s gown, shield, etc. look almost natural. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What I especially don&#039;t like about this toning is:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li>The iridescent green is unnatural.</li> <li>The toning climbs from the fields to the tops of the lettering and devices. (See the magenta (red) toning that climbs from the field to the stone and Liberty&#039;s gown.)</li> <li>The transition from magenta to blue is abrupt. It should be gradual.</li> </ul><p>I think what the coin doctor was trying to do here was imitate toning from a Waite Raymond holder. Those holders contained sulfer and caused ring toning. (Ring toning starts around the rim and works its way to the center.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am not saying that it is 100% certain this is AT but I am reasonably confident that this is not natural toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
