<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1088275, member: 15309&quot;]I agree, I don&#039;t know what they are thinking bagging that coin.&nbsp; The blue color at the upper periphery looks a little strange but it is a cyan color which is the correct progression and a color I have seen on Morgan Dollars before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over a decade ago, Bob Campbell released his video of how to spot AT coins.&nbsp; This coin does not show a single indicator of AT and does show an indicator that Campbell claims can only be caused by air transfer toning (NT).&nbsp; Campbell basically states that when you see different colors in the recesses of the devices of a coin like you do on this coin that it can only be caused by air transfer toning.&nbsp; Note how the letters of LIBERTY are yellow but the band is magenta.&nbsp; Along the same line, a big indicator of AT is that the colors creep over the devices and lettering.&nbsp; That does not happen anywhere on this coin.&nbsp; Wherever you see a sudden change in relief, you also see a change in color For example, look at the yellow that separates the magenta in the fields and the magenta on Liberty&#039;s face at the boundary of the devices.&nbsp; Another example is that the patina does not cover the denticles, which many toning enthusiasts consider a big indicator of AT.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The color schemes are typical of a bag toned Morgan, and all of the color progressions are correct.&nbsp; And unless my eyes are tricking me, I actually think I see some evidence of textile pattern on Liberty&#039;s neck. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what caused the toning breaks and as Doug pointed out, if the metal is scarred, that would explain the toning break.&nbsp; However, even if the metal is undisturbed, that doesn&#039;t preclude something sticking to the coin that could have caused the toning breaks.&nbsp; I am sorry, but I see absolutely nothing that would lead me to believe that this coin is AT.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, since I have not seen the coin in hand, I reserve the right to change my mind.&nbsp; I will say that if this coin really is AT, the doctor who created this has incredible skills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
