<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 26223363, member: 86815&quot;]The image isn&#039;t quite sharp enough to define an absolute opinion but I have owned George III coins with similar toning. Put them in an old manilla coin pocket for a year and you will see similar toning.</p><p>If you look at the leaves in the coronet, unless there is a defined line down the middle of the leaves together with lateral veins in his garland, it isn&#039;t EF. Looks like yours is good VF bordering&nbsp; EF to me and an attractive coin.</p><p>Take a look at the Harp and other devices on the reverse as, for example, you should be able to see the bust on the Harp in EF.</p><p>The main reason for artificial toning is to try and hide cleaning. I have a couple of coins that are graded AU with dark tones but no mention of artificial toning.</p><p>This is a coin I have that is graded MS 61 in the UK we would say G/EF. If you look at the leaves you will see what I mean.</p><p><img src="https://ccg-imaging-ngc-coins-production.s3.amazonaws.com/17271061-819b-4279-9c17-df2e5ce42535/NGC2921980-016_OBV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://ccg-imaging-ngc-coins-production.s3.amazonaws.com/17271061-819b-4279-9c17-df2e5ce42535/NGC2921980-016_REV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
