Check out the coins being offered by this seller:

What chemicals are being used to create these rancid AT coins? Just curious. A couple of the "murky" Ikes actually look appealing to me, but the rest look like madness.

Notice how he just says toned on all but the one ike he called "toned in airtite". Funny

They do look like they've had the Marceles Wallace treatment for sure.

Lots of heat, some sulphur compounds and a little bit of water is my guess.

I love the term that he uses ---- "controlled toning"! Haven't heard that one before!
