    Quite frankly, those coins don't look to me to be similarly toned. They do seem to have been taken with similar photographic technique and suspect this is why they look similar to you.

    That said, there are many ways to tone silver. Exposure to heat, humidity, and sulfur (either through the air or other more nefarious methods) will tone silver. So will time.

    In short, I see nothing to suggest that this seller is toning anything himself...Mike

    Easy, he boils them in a concoction of water, salt, cider viniger, and a few pennies. Lol, i know its a wierd combanation, but my friend tried it one time, and the silver came out exaclty like this.
