Heads Up: SEGS is incapsulating a lot of Modern Toned coins that are AT!

I purchased a SEGS MS68 silver Eagle off of eBay a couple weeks ago and also a grouping of SEGS silver Eagles in a separate deal. Each has that blazing metallic BLUE boarders with maroon and purple blended in.
Only problem is, they're all AT.
I also recently picked up a wonderful looking 1972 Canadian dollar with wild colors, obverse and reverse. Again- AT.
About six months ago a purchased a 1913 SEGS MS65 Buffalo with cool colors, front and back. I even ran a Thread regarding the coin right here. I had it recently checked out by a color guy I totally trust: sure enough- AT.
These experiences, plus coins I saw at the last Long Beach has led me to the (slow!) conclusion that SEGS is allowing not only questionable color coins into their holders, but out and out AT coins too.
-I just thought I'd pass my observations along so others don't get burned, or- at minimum, you buy fully informed.

Could you post a picture of the coin?
I just saw 3 identical coins to the one I believe you're referring to at a local show. The dealer claimed that they sat on a window sill for a long time. I was tempted to say - they are AT then, but I didn't want to cause a scene. The coins were in SEGS and PCI holders and they looked identical to the one on Ebay.

You're positive they are AT?
Seems likes SEGS would be risking what little credibility they have left. If a lot of AT is really slipping through SEGS, isn't this their death knell?
