I hear this particular ebay seller is notorious for magically creating colorful coins? Like this Flying Eagle?

Yeah, I vaguely remember reading about the seller on this board. So when I came across this listing I decided to post it here for confirmation.

Not a fan.... of the coin or the seller. They state it's cleaned, but refuse to state AT. Shady to say the least.

I am always suspicious of coins with what looks like to have very attractive toning.

Almost impossible to prove if the toning is natural or artificial.
So I just ignore attractive toning, when it come to value, despite the the fact that I do actually appreciate the toning.

Because of the equal plusses and minuses, attractive toning has a net zero effect on my decision to buy or not.

Too bad he ruined a nice FE. Also likes to do that to Indian cents.

I've often wondered how much of his stuff straight grades. To me, it's a one-look AT. But I do wonder about this.

Slabbed coin certainly not RB or BN, imho.
The color presented is neither,
irrespective of if the toning is artificial or natural.

Still a desirable coin anyway.
Extra or less value? - probably slightly less for me, because I can't satisfy myself about the cause for the toning.
