AU details probably cleaned, hence the artificial toning trying to cover up the cleaning. Stay far away

fantastically colorized problem coin
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Run away as fast as you can! The coloring is artificial!

Artificial toning is no no. It is a fraudulent activity, in my opinion, if you are trying to sell at higher premium to unsuspecting buyers. If you are doing to your coins, then you just are damaging YOUR coins which you might sell at later time. Just stay away.

It's been cleaned then AT, so you will look at the toning and not the cleaning.  |

Aside from the color, which I agree could be artificial, I honestly don't see any indication of cleaning. Lots of bag marks maybe, but not cleaning.  |

Looks like bag marks on Anna's face. The fields look clear. The crescent toning on the reverse looks legit, but the obverse is over the top, IMHO. Then again it's been known to happen that way.  |
