I have purchased and inspected in hand probably 6 or 7 of these over the last 3 years. Beyond the issue of natural v AT, I wish the toned coin market would transition towards valuing nice patinas over clown colors. I will follow-up with some contrasting pictures of monster-toned mercs that I think are 100% natural. [ATTACH=full]579271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]579272[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
