Does this look AT to you?

Do you think I'll be returning this?

Placid

The toning is a little odd that it goes over some of high points but not others.

uofa1285

IMO, never spend that kind of jack on uncertified toned coinage...I hope it works out well for you.

Thanks,

Doug

I read some earlier post on this guy. Some good some not so good but he is an easy return and I'll spend a few bucks to see it in person.

I agree with Placid and uofa1285. I wouldn't be shocked if it were NT, though. Also, the photo may exaggerate the toning in such a way that it has sort of a weird appearance. Good luck!

stman

Here comes stman. Since you asked here is what I think. If you're looking for totally original, unmolested surfaces on a coin.... this is probably not for you. On the other hand if you don't mind cleaned and re-toned.... then this could very well be for you. If you haven't done so already and I've mentioned this many times, take a look at all the other items offered. Most have the same "look" to them. Funny how he keeps coming up with all these. Hope it works out for you anyway.

Thats just the think stman many of his others look very different. If he was making these he could have done a much better job on many. But others do have a similiar look I agree and if it was no return I wouldn't have even thought about it. I don't mind spending a few bucks to ease my curiosity.

007, I am sure this toning is not realCalifornia------------BigE

I agree California is no good. See the straight edges to the toning under the letters on the obverse. Nothing like the 1820.

Deadhorse

Phanton has good stuff and Phanton has bad/AT stuff.

He doesn't have constant auctions like the usual AT guys have.

I don't think he really knows the difference and just finds/picks-up what he thinks will sell online.

I've had good luck with him but it was nearly a year or so ago.

I tend to think that if it looks too good, it probably is with this seller.

I did pick up a nice target toned Walker, raw from him. It's now in PCGS at 65 and so I did very well on that one. But my one experience is too small a population to judge by.

ms70

Not an expert here, but I think the 1820 might be NT. I've seen others toned the exact same way in slabs.

I don't see a picture at all - has it been removed, or did you spend $525 on an album toned monster description?

I have bought and sold to him and I agree with deadhorse that he buys things he thinks will sell on Ebay. the half you listed looks real considering what his photos look like.
