This seller has been discussed many times here. At least he does disclose in the "fine print" that the coins have been AT'd. On the other side, I can't stand what he is doing. He has permanently ruined thousands of Morgans.

What's the story behind your avatar coin? It's an 1879-S I have in NGC plastic (MS64PL). The obverse is golden toned. |

How does a coin acquire attractive toning naturally? Granted I've only been collecting for a few years, but I've handled coins all my life and I can't say I've ever seen a coin whether I've felt that the tarnish has added something special to it.
Toning is grey silver and brown copper. It's not attractive.

I wonder what percentage of the buyers of these coins are flippers looking to make a quick buck by passing these off as natural toning. Most dedicated collectors would recognize these for what they are instantly but there is a large percentage of the collecting community that might not.

I found a lot of gently naturally toned SAC dollars from bank rolls. They were usually on the end of the roll touching something else. A little light purple in spots. Coins gain storage from how they are store for awhile, usually decades to be purely natural. I get purples I'm my safe depending on the container. Albums and cardboard tones the most.
I would never pay over spot for a coin toned like that.

He says right there in the description the coins are exposed to an electrical field. I have two of his coins. I rather like how they look.
And I have posted one of them several times here and no one has questioned it.
Not all velvet art is awful.
