jst1dreamr Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 5:20 pm I would say yes artificial toning and not a very good job of it IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6392 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 5:39 pm Doesn't look sharp enough for a proof. Sometimes proof IHCs develop beautiful tone but this looks to vivid to be natural on a business strike. If it were slabbed (say, PCGS MS-65RB) it would be pretty excellent but I wouldn't take the risk on a raw collector trap like this. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 6:21 pm Not a proof, and I admit it looks too good to be true, but I have seen some spectacularly colored MS Indians in TPG holders. Report this Post to the Staff
