Looks like the top coin moved while applying a heat source.
Apparently, he has several. doesn't really speak for the Christian inspired
gear he's unloading.

 Looks like this seller has sold hundred (or thousands) of these coins. More proof that people will buy anything. |

it's not heat, it's chemical/electrical anodizing. the pattern can be changed depending on how much of the object is submerged and how the probe is moved. https://video.search.yahoo.com/vide...d=15.1&rurl=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv=VrA7Jyw1uOs&tit=Make+Silver+Different+Colors+by+Anodizing&c=0&sigr=11bs2kdph&sigt=11945417m&age=0&fr2=p:s%2Cv:v%2Cm:sa&hsimp=yhs-001&hspart=mozilla&tt=b |

Artificial toning is like bad art. Always someone out there thinking it is brilliant and willing to pay to prove it.  |

@dave700x,
What's the story behind your avatar coin? Been meaning to ask about its grade (and obverse!) For awhile.
