 It looks artificial, but I'm no expert |

I am not an expert, but that certainly looks artificial to me, and in my opinion it's so bright and brilliant that it's kind of unattractive.

It's not natural. The colors shouldn't "flow" over everything like that. Like ErrorCoins222 said they are also really bright.

I would say artificially toned.

That coin is most definately artificially toned. Although the order of the colors is "technically" correct, I see no intermediate colors and no blending, characteristics of an AT'ed coin.

I don't give a rats rear end if that is purposeful or accidental toning, it is flipping gorgeous! I would welcome that one into my collection in a heartbeat.

I agree, it looks like AT to me as well.

Artificial or not, that is a beautiful coin I would love to have.

I collect toned Washington quarters. Having said that, I think that is one of the less-attractive examples of a 1950-D. Obviously many here like it, to each their own, but as a collector I wouldn't be interested in purchasing that coin at any price above melt. |

The colors are nice, but I wouldn't want them on a coin.

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all of your responses. I really appreciate it. As I said, I'm not really into toned coins and don't know much about them- I certainly believe everyone who said it looks artificial. I guess I will get rid of it on ebay soon or something, since toned coins are just not my thing (not that they aren't great for others). It doesn't really have a place in my Dansco. |

I too am not a fan of toned coins. If I were to buy that one, I'd probably dip it to get rid of that toning. But that's just me. I would possibly just give it away. AT or NT, I just don't like toning.
