<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2637290, member: 112&quot;]Let me preface this by saying that I started warning people about that particular seller before CT even existed.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the things you describe above are not the only ways that toning similar to this happens Dave. There are literally thousands upon thousands of coins with natural toning that is like or quite similar to that on the coin in this thread. A great many of them slabbed by NGC and or PCGS. Double sided target toning has and does happen naturally. It can happen in albums, in can happen in envelopes, it can happen in several different ways. Here are some examples, first the coin in question, followed by others.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glowing-1964-PCGS-PR67-Superb-Gem-Rainbow-Toned-Proof-Kennedy-Half-w-TrueView-/371845149431?hash=item5693b2b2f7:g:cwsAAOSwt5hYg5iu&amp;nma=true&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;si=JenzxvxM%252FgO1gIP%252F8pEXeWJvVrg%253D&amp;rmvSB=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glowing-1964-PCGS-PR67-Superb-Gem-Rainbow-Toned-Proof-Kennedy-Half-w-TrueView-/371845149431?hash=item5693b2b2f7:g:cwsAAOSwt5hYg5iu&amp;nma=true&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;si=JenzxvxM%252FgO1gIP%252F8pEXeWJvVrg%253D&amp;rmvSB=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Glowing-1964-PCGS-PR67-Superb-Gem-Rainbow-Toned-Proof-Kennedy-Half-w-TrueView-/371845149431?hash=item5693b2b2f7:g:cwsAAOSwt5hYg5iu&amp;nma=true&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;si=JenzxvxM%2FgO1gIP%2F8pEXeWJvVrg%3D&amp;rmvSB=true</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/swoopdog/toned-coins-domestic-and-international/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pinterest.com/swoopdog/toned-coins-domestic-and-international/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/swoopdog/toned-coins-domestic-and-international/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-PCGS-MS67-Silver-Canadian-Maple-Leaf-5-Monster-Rainbow-Target-Toned-Tone-/201584987850?hash=item2eef66ceca%3Ag%3AveYAAOSwSgJXOIg8" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-PCGS-MS67-Silver-Canadian-Maple-Leaf-5-Monster-Rainbow-Target-Toned-Tone-/201584987850?hash=item2eef66ceca%3Ag%3AveYAAOSwSgJXOIg8" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-PCGS-MS67-Silver-Canadian-Maple-Leaf-5-Monster-Rainbow-Target-Toned-Tone-/201584987850?hash=item2eef66ceca:g:veYAAOSwSgJXOIg8</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://picclick.ca/Special-1900-PCGS-MS65-Gem-Colorful-Target-Toned-371751021308.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://picclick.ca/Special-1900-PCGS-MS65-Gem-Colorful-Target-Toned-371751021308.html" rel="nofollow">http://picclick.ca/Special-1900-PCGS-MS65-Gem-Colorful-Target-Toned-371751021308.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/832121/a-piece-of-history-from-b-max-mehl-numismatic-pioneer" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/832121/a-piece-of-history-from-b-max-mehl-numismatic-pioneer" rel="nofollow">https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/832121/a-piece-of-history-from-b-max-mehl-numismatic-pioneer</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m not saying that the coin that started this thread is naturally toned, I&#039;m not saying that at all. And I&#039;m not saying that all of the coins I&#039;m showing examples of are naturally toned. What I am saying is that if man can do it intentionally, mother nature already has - accidentally. And that contrary to what is all to often written on various forum that there are specific rules and ways as to how toning can occur - that there are no &quot;rules&quot; at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>And I am also saying that when it is done correctly, there in no way that anybody can say with any degree of certainty that artificial toning is indeed artificial. The very best that anyone can do is guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
