Hard to say from those photos. Sometimes that green haze comes from bad lighting and poor (or no) white balance on the camera.

It's possible it's legit.

 

haha good one Rusty. comp fishy pass

 

But it's so Purty'rzage

 

It's artificial I believe. I have lots of green-toned coins and they don't look that way, or have toned-that way. The coin even looks like it has been "glazed" in the middle with a green paste or chemical of some sort. I'm not an expert though. Just an opinion. And the seller's feedback score is even 0.

 

I agree ,

Who gives a ship(sp?), if it looks good? I don't think the TPGs do, do they? I've never heard of a coin BB'ed for borderline artificial toning, have you?

PS: I have a distinct feeling I'm about to learn something, here...

 

the only thing you will learn is whether temptation gets the better of rusty or not

LOL! Catch ya later I'm cookin' it in a potater.

Well I'm just the co-author and assistant, Spock is our title author and head of our chemical engineering department. But, as long as you ask, for the subject coin, we recommend nail polish remover.

 

Anyone wants to buy glow in dark toned Indian coins from me?hya:
