Generally I don't mind artificially toned junk silver. After all, I'd rather rainbow tone to just a generic white (or blackened) coin, heck, I'd even pay a tiny premium for one over just straight junk silver.
Of course on high-grade or rare coins, I'd much rather it be natural and I might not buy an artificially toned coin like that without a steep discount.

Can you post pictures so that we can weigh in on whether we think they exhibit artificial/natural toning?
Like Generic_Lad mentioned, I don't mind AT junk silver so long as it isn't too excessive. There are some out there that have been taken to an extreme. Of course, on coins with a numismatic premium, I wouldn't buy unless it is appropriately discounted depending on how excessive the toning.

^+1 I think artificial toning is just bad bad bad. I want natural coins. Artificial toning = damaged and damaged in my book = no collectors value therefore through the transitive property artificial toning = no collectors value.

Whether it is artificial toning or not and the coins being common date Peace Dollars, it should have very little effect on their' value and probably even collectibilty!
