<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1683673, member: 35203"]Bottom line is tone of any kind real or AT + a run of the mill silver eagle = only bullion and bullion price. In this case though Hype + Marketing + lack of education (especially with toning/AT) + the mention of it being art = $61 a coin. This guy should work for Danbury or Franklin mints he could make a fortune. Oh wait never mind he already does. As for the original question. It is probably sulfur rich paper cut to pattern and a damp environment. Notice he doesn't say no humidity or dampness was added just heat and harsh chem.'s. I know with natural tone certain extras need to be present too...Introduction of iron/iron sulfate gives reds/pinks, pure sulfur gives yellows and golds, nitrogen gives either blues or greens, etc. so he probably adds these to the paper or water/steam to color these guys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
