Can any German specialists help me? I saw a piece offered by a german dealer and I was wondering if "fein getönt" describes normal toning, or whether this suggests unnatural toning? The literal translation is "tinting" if I am not mistaken.

    It means nicely toned.

    Many thanks Andres! I just wanted to get a second opinion to validate that this was intended to be a positive reflection on the coin's grade, and not a statement of a problem or an artificially created condition. I interpret it as the former.
    Best,

    An offer has been made but I will have to wait to see if there is interest from the dealer. I will post if we can find an agreement.
