    Have not seen a single ATB Quarter here on the Oregon coast, yet!! Denver Mint shield cents up the wazoo, but no quarters? State Quarters used to circulate within their minted year, not so with the State Parks?!

    I don't disagree.

    The only thing I was trying to say is that the name you choose to use for it doesn't change what it is. Toning, the first steps of corrosion, tarnish, patina - they are all exactly the same thing. Even the green patina that so many collectors of ancients are so fond of - that can readily be induced on ancient coins in a matter of hours.

    No comment but is a little more involved (Think Forgery vs Counterfeit), but I can easily replicated this dude work without trying!

    I agree it's firmly in the gray area, and modern clad coins rearly ever tone like this in the real world (And this guys happens to own every rare clad toner in the world no less)! Rainbow 2011 toners? Get real!
