So, are these coins AT?

in U.S. Coin Forum
I pointed out the AT'd-ness to the seller, and got a long-winded, all caps, no punctuation diatribe about how I am wrong, slanderous, and next time will get reported to eBay...

MS67 Sac
High grade peace
Jeffy
Wartime jeffy
MS67 Merc...HAHA!

You can look through the rest of the auctions to see more...

Maybe I should take comfort knowing that most of these are featured, and the $20 won't be recouped, even if I am found to be a sladerer?

    I was looking at this guy's garbage the other day and thought about sending him an eMail, but decided "why bother". Since you got this from him:



    << <i>got a long-winded, all caps, no punctuation diatribe about how I am wrong, slanderous, and next time will get reported to eBay... >>



    I decided to go ahead and fire one off to him. It's always good for a laugh when one of these con artists pulls the "I'll report you to eBay" threat out of their ass. image

    That was fast. I have a hunch this seller is getting a lot of eMail. This is what they sent, with my response.

    I couldn't read all that mess that Russ posted so I had my kid read it because her eyes are betternmine and put the punctuation in it so it would make sense.
    This is what the seller says:
    NON OF.
    MY COINS ARE ARTIFICIAL TONES. AT ALL ALL OF.
    THESE COINS I HAVE BOUGHT FROM ONE PERSON. ANOTHER FROM COINS SHOWS, I GO TO SHOWS AND JUST LOOK.
    FOR COINS THAT HAVE COLOR, THAT IS IT. JUST BECAUSE.
    I HAVE ALOT OF COINS!

    WITH COLOR DOES NOT MEAN.
    THEY ARE ARTIFICIAL TONED AND I AM NOT!
    TRYING TO BE MEAN, BUT IF I HERE DIFFRENT AND YOU SAY DIFFERENT I WILL TURN YOU.
    TO EBAY FOR HARRASSMENT, I SEE THIS SO MUCH.
    ON EBAY PEOPLE THINK. BECAUSE SOME ONE HAS.
    COINS WITH COLOR THEY HAVE TO BE FAKE. WHY? BECAUSE!
    THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO TO SHOW AND ASK FOR COINS WITH COLOR.
    ASK PEOPLE IF THEY SEE ANY COINS THAT ARE TONED TO HOLD THEM.
    FOR ME THAT IS ALL. I DO. I DON'T. EVEN!

    KNOW HOW TO MAKE A COIN CHANGE? MUCH LESS IF I KNEW.
    A CVOIN WAS AFTRICIAL TONED.
    I WOULD NOT PURCHASE IT. BECAUSE.
    I LOVE COINS!

    THAT HAVE COLOR.
    AND EVERY TIME I SEE OPNE I WILL BUY IT.
    IF I CAN, I HAVE GOT 100 HUNDREDS ON COINS THAT HAVE COLOR TO THEM AND NOT A SINGLE ONE.

    THEM ARE FAKE TONED COINS! I HAVE ALOT OF THEM!
    THAT ARE CERTIFED AND I HAVE ALSO. A LOT!

    DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS OF COINS THAT ARE TONED FROM PENNIES.
    TO DOLLARS AND JUST BECAUSE. I HAVE THEM. DON'T MEAN.
    THEY ARE ARTIFICIALLY TONED. SO? PLEASE LAY OFF THAT!
    THANKS, S. ANDY!

    Yes, he's done a lot more buying than selling--and what he's sold has generally been untoned
