    The '88-S quarter looks legit to me. The trime might be, too, but I'm less certain.

    You can never be 100% sure about coins like this from pictures. From what I can see, I like the trime a lot more than the quarter. The quarter looks spotty to me, which could indicate AT, although chances are it's not. At any rate I much prefer even toing like that which is on the trime than the spotty stuff that is on the quarter.

    toning on both coins looks artificially applied to me, but the quarter is easily the worst of the 2

    I think it is strange that he has all of these higher grade toned coins and none of them have
    been slabbed.

    i just wasted several minutes looking at all his coins & there's not a 1 that i'd be interested in. they're all doctored crap imo. ez to duplicate.

    Dork,

    Those two are the only ones that looked like they might be legit to me...but I respect your advice.

    Actually, the more I look at the quarter and see the spottiness of the toning, the less I like it. I think it otherwise looks fairly legit in terms of color progressions, but most natural toners don't have that bubbly kind of color.

    It depends on the blue -- I always question blues when they have a sheen to them, almost as though they are sitting on top of the luster.

    Here's a page from my site that shows the hue of blue I'm talking about. There are 3 Morgans that have the blues that PCGS bodybagged.

    Take a look at Morgan #3, #5 and #8

    The last one looks close to your quarter in color and toning.
