Gem coin? Yes, Toning photo? Yes. No way a copper cions to have this colors. It is just a picture. The seller promise that the grading will not come against this toning? Wrong. I want to see someone prove me that the copper toning or oxide will be blue.

And the seller provides this: As a side note: Grading Company's Today are very uneasy about Toned Coins, I can't promise that a grading company will not come back with anything other than a Questionable Color or Altered Color Verdict. We have had success story's of them coming back as Brown on occasion! ***"Please do not purchase if you Question The Authenticity."*** I want to share these with those who appreciate and enjoy them! I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to purchase this Hoard of unique coins and I will be sharing them for years to come!

2 1/2 basic ways of producing artificial toning with excellent eye appeal: 1. careful heat treatment 2. chemical treatment in a liquid or corrosive gas environment 1/2: both
Experience, skill, timing, required temperature and concentration level of chemicals are all important.
I am always suspicious of rainbow toning, because almost impossible to distinguish natural from artificial. Thus, I may buy such coins anyway, but always completely discount the value of the toning to zero.
Rainbow toning in most cases is unstable. For this reason, with silver coins, I prefer blast white in MS grades, as they appear when they have just been ejected from the coining press.

I have never found "toned" coins appealing. I find cleaned coins more appealing, for me any toning is a detractor. Blast white are nice, but I prefer nice shiny coins.

It does look like 'accelerated toning' and it's not difficult to take a mildly toned coin and make it look like that. And that thing has been filtered within an inch of it's life. Artificially toned by heating.  and same coin thrown through some colour modifications and mild (  ) colour enhancement / switching.  I didn't spend very long on that or it would probably look more convincing.
