    Maybe he really does think they are NT when everyone knows they are AT. I doubt he would sstop selling coins though.

    This dude is hilarious.... I wonder if he would consider a simple body bag to be "irrefutable proof", or if he needs some written testimony from a scientist....

    Pinatubo here reminds me of Jack Nicholson's character in 'A Few Good Men'.

    Heres a guy not hiding behind any ridiculous claims and obviously doctored coins - on the contrary - I think he WANTS to tell us how he made them and how hes fooling novices. I think hes proud of it.

    I agree. Inside I think he really wants us to know how good of a job he's doing fooling everyday normal people. But he can't for fear of loss in business.

    Interesting: how do you "prove" that a coin is AT????? The services conveniently call them "questionable"....Remember, services provide an "opinion," hardly "proof."....opens up a fabulous legal and philosophical discussion!!imageimage

    His challenge is empty. He only pays off if a service will put in writing that they have irrefutable proof that the coin didn't tone as he claimed it did. The services don't work that way. All they do is offer an opinion.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    <<<The Gauntlet has been thrown>>>
    Instead of a throwing of the gauntlet there should be a running of the gauntlet.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
