Is this artificial Toning or very very ugly?

I have no clue why this Merc is so toned. I like toning, but this is too intense

Sure looks AT to me.
Plus if you look at his other auctions there are some others that have that same toning look. That leads to even more suspicion not that it's needed in this case.

 

very, very ugly AT.

Market unacceptable toning.

 

That description makes it sound as if the toning is not as blatantly artificial as it is. In this case, there is no question about it.

 

AT and ugly, IMO

 

Didn't someone else post this dime a few weeks ago? I'm sure thats the same one I commented belonged in the Crayola collection.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I knew there was something fishy about this Merc. I also noticed that all his other auctions have almost the same toning, so I will put this guy as a good e bayer to stay away from.
