    I feel the definition of artificial toning from the PCGS "Lingo" section of our website is pretty good...

    artificial toning
    Coloring added to the surface of a coin by chemicals and/or heat.

    By the way...the "Lingo" section is very comprehensive and very good. The section was written by coin expert extraordinaire (and PCGS founder), John Dannreuther. I believe JD is one of the great coin minds of our time. If you have the time to check out our "Lingo" section you'll find a wealth of information.
