    These are from a thread a long time ago where edynamic was shown to purchase pcgs coins on eBay, gas them and resell with unnatural looking toning.
    Some are still floating around and show up from time to time.

    I will no longer use the term 'doctor' to describe those who perform work on coins to ostensibly increase value... A doctor takes an oath to 'First, do no harm'....and what these butchers do to coins, is, clearly, harm. I will henceforth refer to them as 'bunglers'... Because, no matter how well, or artfully, they perform their desecration, it is still bogus. Cheers, RickO

    This is why I will never understand how toning enhances the value of a coin. Tarnish is tarnish. Natural or artificially induced, pretty or ugly. It's still tarnish.

    So attractive toning is bad? What about the several thousands of people who live eat and breathe toned?

    Thanks I read the thread. So either the coins are gassed or the images in the photos are doctored

    Rick, call it whatever you like. However, here is but one of numerous similar definitions for “doctor/doctoring”:
    “Altered; falsified; skewed; manipulated.”

    You’ll “never understand” that many people will pay extra for something that they find attractive or beautiful?
