Including a pic of the coin so that folks can still learn from this thread after the auction link no longer works:  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

All of this seller's items have that suspicious rainbow "toning".
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Yes, human-induced toning it appears.

 I've posted about this seller. It makes me kind of ill to look at all those weird colors. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Unethical, yes. Criminal? No. This topic was moved to a more appropriate forum.  |

but yes, this one is NOT a naturally toned coin.

I think you can achieve this affect by submitting the coin to an open flame. True?

To me this is both unethical and criminal.

However, this looks to be more like the classic baked potato or similar method. It's PMD and easy to spot! This is not a market acceptable toning. |

Definitely artificial toning. Definitely avoid any of these that do this at all costs. A scam.
Errers and Varietys.
