<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2964729, member: 19165&quot;]I&#039;ll say with a pretty high degree of certainty that coin is artificially toned.

I&#039;m fairly certain that if you brought him a naturally toned, slabbed, colorful piece, he&#039;d buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p>In today&#039;s market, originality and eye appeal are where the strong money will be. If you&#039;ve followed other recent threads, there seems to be a general consensus that the market as a whole is cooling, but there is an increasing dichotomy: Generic, altered, raw, or problem coins are dropping in price rapidly, but eye appealing, original, or rare coins are still doing well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
