Not a chance. These are artificially toned coins, from what we believe is the same seller with two separate accounts. These coins are ugly and obnoxious, IMO. This is the difference Doug, between having a nicely album toned coin, vs. these big, bright, obnoxious colors all over this coin. I think if people were more knowledgeable and knew that this was fake toning, they wouldn&#039;t buy it, if sellers cannot be honest, they shouldn&#039;t be selling. (In my mind stating that a coin has natural toning, when it is AT, just never telling the person that you toned the coin, is just as bad as throwing a bunch of common dated pennies in a roll, and calling it unsearched)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
