It looks artificial to me, and IF I bid I'll bid very low. But I also would like other opinions. When you read the description the seller seems a bit artificial as well. So what do you think, fake and bake?

It looks like it was topped with an oil slick.

To be completely honest, I'm not enough of an expert on toning to be able to give an opinion one way or the other. He does, however, have two things in his favour.

If you look at all the coins he is selling, this is the ONLY toned one. To me it is a bit of a warning sign when every coin a seller has is garishly toned in unbelievable neon colours.

Also, his feedback rating is 100%, and he has not mutually withdrawn any negative remarks, nor does he have any neutral ones. Again, it is a warning sign when too many negatives or carefully worded neutrals have been left for a seller.

Having said all that, I still can't tell you if it's been Artificially toned or not!
