eBay listing for 1796 Likerty half dime. He forgot to mention that he bought this coin a few months ago, yet he found it in his 200 year old pottery barn safe and the coin was PLUGGED and that he cracked it out of a PCGS holder and than he ARTIFICIALLY TONED the coin to try to hide the plug.

    He certainly is no artist with his AT work.

    It would also appear that he has either doctored the photo, the coin or both to make the surfaces uniformly rough to hide the plug at 12k. In a magnified view of the Heritage obverse photo, the repair area is quite obvious on the obverse. The rest of the surfaces is smooth. Now it’s less pronounced, because the whole coin looks a bit porous.

    Calling him a character is like calling Al Capone eccentric. Edited.

    How does one take legal action against someone selling a coin that is prominently described on the slab as what it is?

    seller buys problem coin in slab stating problem, cracks out coin and colors, takes deceptive photo hiding flaws, sells raw and calls it BU

    don't you see any FRAUD here?

    I didn't see a link to the raw one.

    Oh wait. Now I did. Different story. :(

    Don’t clean coins with an eraser

    Don’t use acetone on slabs

    Don’t buy coins from the doc

    This guy is a loser and it's a shame people bid on those coins.
