[QUOTE="Mark Feld, post: 1014800, member: 11467"]In reply to your five points above: 1) People claim that coins can be artificially toned to look like that, but I don't believe it.

That was with the benefit of a single incandescent light in a lighted room - no extreme lighting conditions were involved. 3) I'm OK with your OK;) 4) I have heard predictions about the bottom of the toned coin market falling out for many years.
