[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1175881, member: 27832"]Really? Only the IHC? I don't know what it looks like in-hand, and I know a woodgrain finish isn't too uncommon on coppers, but it just looks too much like a Buffalo nickel that's soaked too long in vinegar -- I would've been too skittish to go for it. I would have tagged the Peace dollar as cleaned, based the darker colors appearing only in the deepest parts of the design (the parts that are hardest to clean/polish). I could be seeing artifacts of the lighting, though, so not 100% confident. The Barber looks entirely NT to me, but as I've said many times before, the AT/NT distinction is itself completely artificial. If TPGs are too skittish now to slab colorful coins, it's just something that they and the toner fans will have to work out among themselves. Haven't studied enough Bust and Seated coins to form an opinion. The flow patterns on the Bust are pretty psychedelic.[/QUOTE]
