Isn't this taking toning a little too far?

Came across this one on Ebay...

I love a toned Morgan as much as the next guy, but I think this is "JUUsssssssssst a bit overpriced" (a la Bob Euker)

    I think that the decimal point should be where the comma is.....$65

    I would think at that price he could make an exception and take PP. Unattractive IMO as well. He's also hyping it's almost a 64. Like there is supposed to be that much difference in premium. Next image

    If it is a 64, isn't it worth like $75? At least the shipping is only $2.

    It looks like he just screwed up when entering the price.

    A photo enhanced toner. It's neutral toning, really.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Always thought his vamming was a little off-base too.

    Lincoln had like a bluish halo around his head. I don't think that halo was artificially applied. image

    Even though the coin is fugly, maybe I will make a low ball bid of say 50,000 dollars.

    OK, so... what WOULD we pay for that piece? Ridiculous asking price aside, it is appealing and it's reasonable to figure it goes way over graysheet. What's the norm for things like this? Is there a norm for things like this? I've got a few nice toners myself that I felt very lucky to get not far above ask, but nothing quite as rainbowy as that. With all the facetious responses, I don't know whether somebody's suggestion of "five times bid" is real or not. I know my interest in owning the piece would run out at around $75. Anyone else?
