    I was thinking the same on some of his stuff. However, what he's selling sure looks a lot "nicer" than tonecoin's if it's fake--I have two coins from him on the way to me that look like natural stuff I have. I'll post pictures when they arrive (should be any day now).

    On the other hand, this guy has the best communication on eBay I've ever seen--emails for invoice, payment received, and shipping.

  • No question about it. This coin says it all. That pooling effect on George's neck says liquid all the way.

  • Hmmm - and not a one slabbed - looks like sophomore chemistry at work + a light heat here and there

  • It almost looks like they were heat generated....

    All that junk is nothing but AT.
    He doesn't say that it is from original mint & proof sets now does he?
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    He's got perfect feedback so he has to be one of the good guys and must be doing something right, right?

    I checked his feedback -

    this guy is buying mint sets and uncirculated rolls for his source

    for example a roll of BU 1959-D Jeffersons could last a long time



    I vote for pin-point heat source - not sure what cause the 'pooling effect' on the Washington


    I would guess tonecoin is mostly chemical accelerated with mild heat

    When every auction says "Rainbow" and look like that...
  • AT all the way, this and the other seller mentioned need to be kicked in the (&(*(*?$ , Look at all the unknowing buyers who are getting a new one ripped and when they do find out how bad they got screwed how much this will hurt the hobby. Dam I hate this had to be my 200th post.
    Thanks

  • FAKE!!!!

    And what kind of idiot would offer all these similarly faked color coins at once?!

    If he had a lick of sense he would trickle a few in along with legit coins. Greed and Russ have exposed another jagweed crook!

    Karl,

    That's how I found his auctions. Spotted the funky JFK and checked the others.
