Is this really natural toning?

I'd say induced (through human intervention) toning.

Almost certainly artificial toning (AT).

That's what I thought too. Thanks for confirming my suspicion. I wonder how the seller would even think this would fool anyone. It's likely they bought it that way, but I'm sure they could just remove the paint or whatever it is, auction it off, and reduce their loss.

Either someone dumped highlighter all over the coin, accidently dipped this Morgan instead of an egg into the dye on Easter Sunday, or the coin slipped and fell into an oil spill.

AT to the point of ridiculous unattractiveness.

Almost puked when I saw this. I would even be hesitant to purchase that one at stacking cost, first thing I would do it dip it, then toss in bag.
