Tonecoin is notorious for his Betty Crocker techniques. He's been discussed at length on numerous threads here.

This is just another typical example. Look at all of his listings. All the coins look like that.

Pink is for girls.

This is not my area of interest but I do undertstand the basic premise that the toning is "artificial"...

However, am I to understand that in artificially toning the coin he has altered (ruined in my opinion) a "genuine" 1829 Bust Half? It's a shame if that's the case. The coin only made it 165 years or so without such nonsense...!

Thx

Yes. All of his coins are ruined. For good.

Not so fast. 100 years from now, he will be regarded as an ....ARTEESTE....who simply used coins for a palette. Very chic, Doncha know?

This is simply an example from his "red" period.


Spin spin spin.
