Uh oh!!! Did Tonecoin2003 aka easyman get one past NGC?

Russ

NGC 1887 MORGAN, MS-63 ,RAINBOW TONED!

Other than the fact that only the reverse is toned, this one looks very similar to his usual work. What do you guys think?

His pictures have a terrible reflection, but I think that might be natural- it's not as splotchy as his normal wares.

I'll bid and if I win, I'll let you know.

pictures do suck but the toning is real.

braddick

I agree- NOT his work.

Swap him the coin for photography lessons and when you get it in hand, I believe your correct.

To put it bluntly, his picture taking abilities suck. I have faith in NGC though, so I would say it's real.

Really a tough guess with those pictures......Ken

NGC is going to have to sue for putting a real coin in with all of the usual garbage he sells....

...those poor, poor shmucks that are bidding on the raw stuff have some surprises coming their way.

Could it be that the uninformed people bidding on those coins are the same ones that pay 3x retail for the common crap they shlep on the home shopping channels? The other night I had to stop myself from buying "ultra rare" 1880-S NGC Morgans in the "ultra rare" grade of MS64 for a mere $89 each. "Look honey, the grandkids would just love these!....and what an investment, hand me the phone!"

Since someone outbid me for it, I'll let 'em have it.

No this toning is real, tonecoin2003s coins are blatantly AT, they look the same way both front and back and every single coin looks the same, also this toning is very light compared to the "toned" coins he sells

I sent an e-mail to one of the guys that bought $600 worth of AT coins from tonecoin2003. He told me that once he found out that the coins were ATed, he asked for his money back, and tonecoin2003 refunded the whole sum. this is probably why his feedback is at 100%.

this guy is "smart", and i can't believe no one has complained so far!

checkout his feedback too:
Praise : Pretty colors. Do you use heat or chemicals to ARTIFICIALLY TONE your coins?
Response by tonecoin2003 - I DON'T THINK SO-CAN'T IMAGINE HOW TO TONED-U TONED COINS BY HEAT OR CHEMICAL?

Neutral : The photo imagery used didn't represent the actual color of the coin. unk. why
Response by tonecoin2003 - I M USING NIKON COOLPIX5000 CAMERA, THE PIX COLORS ARE COIN'S TRUE COLORS! ???

bengals
