73 bids from 8 bidders.
It's interesting that the cheek looks fairly clean. I wonder if that's a look they go for.
All low feedback, likely inexperienced bidders. Sad.
Clean cheek, AU luster, cooked over-easy.
I know, too bad that money is not being used for good coins. And once they find out they have been screwed, a lot of that money probably goes away.
Tarnish is tarnish.... Just that most prefer it to occur slowly...

Not all tarnish is equal. Some have you reaching for the camera while others have you reaching for the dip
@Zoins.... Very true, however, that is a matter of perception. I know people with clearly AT coins that absolutely love them. To each his/her own.... Enjoy the hobby. Cheers, RickO
"Stunning patina." I don't care where you're from, that's funny.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
Wayte Raymond coin board toning consists of concentric rings of color. This is AT.
Just a bunch of lonely old dudes willing to pay up just cause this was touched by seller username "Daytona Beachgirl"

AT is not my cup of tea.
I do like natural toning but I will not pay extra for it.

Kennedys are my quest...
Another toned coin sold by the "beachgirl". Toning sure looks familiar........Hmmmmmmm?

Blow torch job?!
AT becoming more common everywhere.
PCGS /David Hall tried to fight the AT'ers as I recall , But he's gone now.
The TPG's silent on this now.
Lots of AT used to cover up coins problems. Get More money for coin by by Trying to make you think eye appeal VS coin quality.
I see lots of Peace dollars getting AT . In the 80'S toned peace dollars where unheard of.
I think a lot of them are using Gases so I've been told by some dealers who are expert in real natural toning dollars.
Lots of money going into red Coppers . Good luck keeping them that way long term, to preserve your investment.
100% guaranteed
Wondering if that includes the toning being natural Wayte Raymond toning?
Maybe it's one from sellers fake album, makes some wonder
AT has been bringing big bucks for some time now, same old same old.

Bidiots, one and all.
I find it an ugly coin regardless of how it came to look as it does.
If there was a bid of $448 on it then why is the coin back on for a BIN for $300? Shill bidders got a little too greedy???

"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Here's another example...seller needs to get his radius right next time when applying the chemicals.

They're praying on people who get caught in the mindset of "Wow, several bidders were willing to pay $450, it must be a rip at $300!"
"It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."
Looks like the "Tammy Faye" variety.
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Yup. Two of her "beachguy" friends ran it up, but the sucker bidders would not bite.
Looks like she found a sucker on the BIN, though, probably for a "bargain" of $250 for an AT toned piece of junk silver.
Well, seems like the "Beachgirl" scored a very good sell
