MorganDude26 Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 4:40 pm The other day is was browsing on Amazon for coins and I came across a Barber half dollar that I the seller used heat to tone it. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/1902-BARBER-H...3263&sr=1-21 Tell me your opinion please! Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 4:44 pm I am looking at that coin and seeing absolutely nothing that could even be construed as purposeful toning. It has simple dark tonng around the outside perimeter, nothing special IMO. Report this Post to the Staff

cd_god Valued Member United States 297 Posts	Posted 01/01/2012 7:26 pm If you want bad artificial toning check out this guys auctions. I suppose he could have a tiem machine and brought that coin back from a collection 50 years in the future where it had toned naturally http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-D-GETT...em3f07fe0ba7 Report this Post to the Staff

Jenger Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 01/02/2012 3:13 pm ^^ That's exactly what I was thinking ^^ If you look at the top right, it says "3 new & used from.." So I honestly wouldn't expect to receive the coin pictured if I were to buy that. Report this Post to the Staff
