The coin has been dipped to remove tarnish. Seller has taken a nice orginal example and turned it into a messed with coin.

Luuucy...You got some splain' to do! Obviously, that toning must've happened during the transit of the mail when it was in USPS care and not by Mikesmountainvalues. (tongue in cheek) He also sells raw proof IHC from time to time....I'm not saying they're not proofs...I'm just saying you're never going to see me bid on those. Edited by DoctorBurnzy

@basebal21, you're right, it doesn't in the cases I've seen, but I was referring to the blue color. Also perhaps the seller darkened the photos to bring out the contrast.
What else could it be?

The idea of playing with perfectly good coins in hopes of maximizing profit is interesting and disturbing at the same time. I am not a toned coin aficionado, but the process is interesting. Take the following example (also from eBay) and answer this - could this type of toning ever come about naturally? I don't think so, but I'm asking the experts:  Edited by Bump111

There is nothing natural about the toning on the 1907. The coin is AT. If the coin found its way in a straight grade TPG, I still would not buy the coin if I was looking for a toned 1907. The eBay seller beachehrl1 is making a nice profit on taking low cost Indian Head cents and wheats then adding a little color. |

I don't think so, but I'm asking the experts: Anything man can do nature can do, so while it is most likely man made yes it is possible that nature did it. That's why we go with market acceptable/unacceptable as opposed to natural vs artificial. Plenty of natural things look man made and some man made ones look natural. It's just a guessing game unless you have had the coin since the day it was minted and know it's entire history. Whether or not that coin was artificial or natural it wouldn't be acceptable either way.
