Vic Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 01/28/2006 8:29 pm Is this coin fake or, natural toned? The date is 2005 so I think its fake. Thanks... Edited by Vic 01/28/2006 8:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Heather the Hoarder Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/28/2006 8:36 pm It would be very difficult for this sort of toning to arise under natural conditions in such a short time. I bet some person was actively involved in the process. It looks kind of neat anyway, but I wouldn't pay much for it. Heather Report this Post to the Staff

Never mind I dont wanna know. One not very sophisticated means of accelerating toning is to put a coin in a baked potato in the oven. Heritage has a nie article on toning, real and artificial, and in betweeen. http://coins.heritagegalleries.com/...s.php?id=122 Don Report this Post to the Staff
