He has other similar looking coins, so I sent him a message, as follows:
"Curiously, are you artificially toning your coins or buying them from someone else who has done so? Either way, your listings are now the subject of discussion on a coin discussion forum, frequented by thousands of collectors and dealers. And please don't tell me your coins are naturally toned - I am a dealer of 30 years and a former NGC grader."
Darn, I wish I hadn't used the word "discussion twice"

There is a seller here in the Phoenix area that has similar coins. To be honest, I have not searched the bay for coins in so long I cannot remember their Ebay name......but you'll know them if you see them, they also sell rocks and minerals.

What's a "INVIROMENT"?
I guess they didn't teach 'em where the comma, cap lock and period keys are....
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
Looks like A LOT of people are happy with his coins. I have one myself even more awesome toned than this one, but I assumed it was AT before I bought it.

Oh, two negatives for painted on toning.

I wonder how he marked his larger coins. Chop marks?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Heat turns metal many different colors as it warms. He is controlling heat and color change on the coin.
