Not to sure what my thoughts are on this one...........

MrKelso

His description sounds like a lot of bunk to me. When i was a kid coins were still brilliant UNC and white. at that was 48 years ago. Be cautious.
ps there were also toned and dirty coins to

Looks like he's getting the knack of it. Not that good of an AT job but alot better than that Stone Mountain.

Jeff always has top-notch brilliant / cam / dcam pieces. I've never had a problem with anything I've ever received from him. Don't think he would 'play' with them.

Looks like an extreme case of H2S + 2Ag ---> Ag2S + H2 contamination . I'm sorry...I couldn't resist .

My thoughts are, "Geesh, what a butt ugly coin!"

I've done a fair amount of business with Jeff, and have found him to be very professional in every instance. I don't believe for a minute he'd jeopordize his reputation for the sake of a $200 coin. I think it is what he says it is. Personally, I wouldn't pay twenty bucks for it, but I don't think he AT'ed it.

One thing to remember is that proofs tone differently than business strikes. Just as pure silver tones differently from coin silver, sterling or 800 fine. I don't see anything that really screams AT (by chemical) here. Doesn't mean I fully believe it's OK, either. I need to see it in person. I'd like to see it certified, though. Hard to make out the cam, though, for me. I'm leaning 70/30 to being air transfered and not chemically applied.

I think it's real. The look is appealing or not. If I wasn't maxed out for a few days I'd grab at least one of those MintSets. There is one that is a particularly GOOD DEAL.
