    i do not see the problem. the auction clearly states they are "toned".
    as in past tense. the person "toned" them. accurate description.

    coin collectors are the ones who dicker over the AT/NT debate.

    I sometimes will take a fresh one from a roll and hold it over a candle flame for a few minutes
    just for grins, but to put them up for sale? That seems a bit too nefarious to me. After all, anyone can
    get those type of colors from a coin with enough heat applied. It may not be illegal to sell cooked coins
    like this but in my book its unethical if your not disclosing the reality of what they are. Just cooked coins.

    "New toned" - as in: 3 minutes before picture was taken.

    What a garish group of junk he is offering. Wonder if the tankless water heater was part of the experiment. (Who buys a water heater secondhand anyway?) And the "newname" thing without an ID history does hint that the seller may have been booted off by eBay or booed off by buyer feedback before. Just speculation, but a bad choice for a name on there.

    Beleive it or not this guy sent me a reply,

    "Dear cuzzx,

    they are new and from the roll the $10 roll that i got had 26 toned coins in it and i thought the samething that you do so i started looking up to see why new coins would come like that and as it turns out when the dies that stamp the coins start to wear out they get hot and that heat changes the color of the metal. thank you for asking and have a nice day

    Well "heat changes the color of the metal" is the true part of his statement. Looks like the oven baked presidential dollars I cooked. image
