Ummm, everybody, it's kind of important to read the descriptions:
"ARTIFICIALLY TONED BY ANODIZING"

As this example is not showing the vibrant colors do you think it is natural toning or artificial?  |

He's ruined what would be some otherwise really nice coins. But I guess it's all about the money.

There's a bunch of sellers on ebay that do this. Thankfully, they don't do it to high valued coins, but I agree, the markup definitely isn't worth it. |

For the SD commem and the Stone Mountain hes asking between MS66 and 67 type money. The SD one does look nice as do his other commems but like the rest of his coins I'm assuming its been cleaned or the appearance has been changed in some way |

Most of the sellers coins have been chemically/artificially toned....others appear to have been cleaned. STAY FAR, FAR AWAY!

Oh, the correct term is "rainbow toning", luster and toning are NOT the same thing at all.

Ya ya I know it is VERY overpriced and I know it is artificial toning and I know no naturally toned coin would get colored like that, but WOW the colours on that coin are beautiful!

Definitely doing some kind of process. Some of the coins show marks from whatever racking he is using. Does not look natural at all.
