SPP
I had posted that exact coin under the general forum. They had a topic for toned coins. Everyone had negative comments about it....
I emailed the owner and told him how gorgeous it was.

@SPP: Definitely wow.
Are there any studies on how this toning occurs, and how to determine if is artificial?

Wow HOLY *BEEP* SPP - that coin had me drooling, in fact, I need to go sell some silver to buy a new laptop due to water damage from drooling.

Artificially toned, or not... I don't care... I loved it when I saw it...

I submit that 'vibrant' toning is due to heat stress. It sure looks identical to what can happen to a silver coin on the stove top at high setting... The 25c. coin below has a warm rosy yellowish-pink glow on the cheek and neck that is impossible for my crude tabletop photo technique to capture. The bullion seller I visit regularly calls this 'junk silver'. I am more than happy to oblige!    [incadescent light]^^ [cloudy daylight]v  |

Submitting an MS-65 to heat stress would be a heck of a risk. Trends on the coin is $3000. So, if artificial, was it worth the risk to add a possible premium? PQ toning doesn't appear to be anywhere near as coveted as in the US, where fake PQ toning of Morgan silver dollars is an industry. |

1939 10c ICCS ms65. If I ever sold this one I'd have to get more than trends for it.  |

It's a rainbow!
I wonder if there is a pot of gold to go with it?
