Cover your eyes!

You better put on some shades before looking at this toner. Is there anyone that thinks this is natural, I know I don't. I do like the color and wouldn't mind it in my collection just as a conversation piece, but not for the price being asked for it. If you looked at it under a black light, would your head explode?

that doesn't look like natural toning

 

Good lord, it looks like an early 1970's bad acid trip. Not sure if I'm looking at a coin or a hippy tie die shirt.

 

You got one, too, I see!

 

yeah, I decided it was too much for normal humans to look at, so I did the thread a favor and deleted it.

 

At least Ike isn't talking to me from the other side of the mirror

 

That Definitely looks like Artificial Toning on a Copper-Nickel Coin. It just doesn't occur that way.

I found an article on what they call a "Richly Toned" Eisenhower Dollar:

EBay seller edynamicmarketing. This looks exactly like every other coin they sell. All artificially toned.

 

Should be sold under the catagory "Novelty Items".

 

Not natural no. It looks kinda cool though! Some people like that kind of toning.

 

Ok Prez..... Now I gotta strongly disagree with ya!

 

So then this seller has perfected damaging coins with this purple haze look?

 

Oh my, yes....even slabs his "art"....

To me... This is as hard to see as a big scratch down the side of a nice car.

 

No problem bro. On this, you're certainly welcome to your opinion.

 

When it's this obvious and egregious, it should not go in a slab or receive any kind of grade. It should be returned by the grading service in a bag with a notation of "willfully damaged."

Pretty much

 

Better living through chemistry

 

Agreed. But if you look through his offerings, he's had his work slabbed by NGC, PCGS and ANACS (all details grade). I guess money talks. To be fair, he also seems to offer straight graded coins and naturally toned coins in addition to "artwork".

 

They do sell some natural coins to mix in with the others (plenty were bought from other sellers on ebay).
