the negative feedback on fake toning and over-graded says it all.

Is it just me, or does it look very unattractive? I mean, I know attractive toning and I do not think that is it. Maybe it is just me.

Sulfuric acid from a hard boiled egg creates a similar patina, but that coin looks burnt, not treated.

Looks like its been through a forge, rather than forged.

Maybe you guys are being too harsh...did you miss where it said PERFECT MS70...you can get nothing better than this coin...plus, as a special bonus, it has the ultra-rare and highly-coveted one-sided toning to it. You can search for years and not find anything that will live up to this prized coin..it is perfect. Who could ask for more? :(

If you sent it in to PCGS, I bet instead of getting MS70+ or MS70â˜., it will get MS70☠

Good question weavus. I think it looks hideous.

Maybe they thought that's what burn-ish looks like?
