    As far as the value of the coin goes, it depends on the person buying it. In more general terms, that toning is not near as eye appealing nor attractive as let's say a nicely natural toned rainbow example. Therefore, it will fetch less money than a nice natural toned example.
    I would never buy a coin like that, in my eyes the toning is disgusting.

    One quick question for you, how do you know the method used on the coin? It states it nowhere in the auction.

    I sent a message to the seller and ask after I bid on it. Im new to this and was thinking it was a natural tone. When he told me how they did it I sent him another message and said I had made a mistake and he canceled my bid.

    Those coins are ugly.
    Whatever "method" he used should be called vandalism.

    I almost messed up on that one. I really like the natural toning of a coin and the more I look at the fake toning I really do not like it at all. Your right that is on ugly coin. Thanks guys for saving me on that one:thumb:

    No, it is not a fake. It is a genuine coin with artificial toning.

    Like Travis said, it depends on the buyer. Some people will buy anything, especially shiny, brightly-colored things. An uneducated buyer (like yourself - no offense) may be willing to pay a premium for an artificially-toned coin. But most knowledgeable collectors would consider a coin like the one in this auction to be damaged and would not want the coin at any price (or at least a price that was not drastically reduced due to the damage).

    See my earlier advice to you - - - don't bid on or buy any more coins until you know what you are doing. Consider yourself lucky that you did not have to buy this monstrosity.

    I got lucky and I will take your advice. Knowledge is Power. I agree with you all now that I see what is really going on, they are messing up some really great coins doing that to them. THANKS AGAIN to all.
