<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7741838, member: 105098&quot;]my opinion steer clear of the &quot;rainbow toned&quot; sellers on ebay, most every one is using hyped pictures that don&#039;t show it&#039;s true coloration. </p><p><br /></p><p>My other advice is, if you are looking for &quot;rainbow toned&quot;. I&#039;d suggest keeping and eye on Ebay for PCI grading company holders which are known to tone coins nicely. Some people are listing them as toners, some don&#039;t, you have to be patient and wait for the right ones to appear and the right prices, the rainbow toned guys generally juice the price heavily. </p><p><br /></p><p>my opinion this listing is a bit steep and not a candidate,&nbsp; but the pictures are realistic on how it will look to the eye and given the right lighting will pop color. </p><p>this guy even gives pictures with different lighting. clearly trying to be upfront about the color and what is possible given the right display of it. </p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/154499616900?hash=item23f8e51084:g:PGwAAOSwXj5gzqJP" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/154499616900?hash=item23f8e51084:g:PGwAAOSwXj5gzqJP" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/154499616900?hash=item23f8e51084:g:PGwAAOSwXj5gzqJP</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Well now, I&#039;ll just point you at this article from Sunnywood. I keep coming back to it myself.</p><p>&nbsp;I can&#039;t really say it any better than it&#039;s already been said by someone else but this will give you more of an understanding of toning, &quot;rainbow toned&quot;, and what causes it, and what colors you see, and at least a basic understanding of how natural toning works, to hopefully tell when it&#039;s not natural, or rigged pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/708296/towards-an-understanding-of-the-color-progression-on-toned-coins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/708296/towards-an-understanding-of-the-color-progression-on-toned-coins" rel="nofollow">https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/708296/towards-an-understanding-of-the-color-progression-on-toned-coins</a></p><p><br /></p><p>if you are into toned coins, you should have a firm grasp of what you should or shouldn&#039;t see before you spend money on them, there&#039;s plenty of &quot;coin colorers&quot; out there. </p><p>Any PCI holdered coin that is toned I think will cross to PCGS or NGC without issue or being called artificially toned or questionable color. It&#039;s common knowledge in the hobby the PCI holders toned coins wildly. So if you are unsure, you could stick to that at first when purchasing and look for Nice looking PCI holdered coins.</p><p>&nbsp;I just hate when people are misled or deceived and feel like they didn&#039;t get what they expected to see, which usually is what&#039;s going to happen with the &quot;rainbow toned&quot; people on ebay, that or folks spen the money on them, send it for grading, and the companies details it with AT or QC because the color is too wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
