http://cgi.ebay.com/TONED-2003-D-JEFFERSON-NICKEL-BU-lots-color-luster-/230576666170?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item35af70b63 Read the description of this obviously AT nickel. Reverse can be toned on request? too funny.
I really think that we are looking at what the future has in store for toned coin collectors. At some point this will be totally acceptable, :so-sad:
Seller says: "I can email photos of the reverse, which is also nicely toned on request. I can't know for certain if toning is natural or not." My interpretation: I can e-mail photos of the reverse, which I can tone for you on request. This is artificial toning.
