Looks like another coin ruined

Any opinions on this toner?

HUH?

Pass on that one . With one exception I prefer this level of toning ;

"Ruined" is a rather strong word, one IMO is overused with respect to coins.

the coin may not be original, it may not even be very nice. it may be cleaned, artificially toned, damaged by grafitti, overgraded and overdescribed, and bid to levels far in excess of it's value to most of us.

But "ruined"?

That is a shame.
I hope he leaves the real hard to find coins alone--they are already hard to find (did that make sense or what !!! )

The sad part is- as long as people buy coins like that , coins like that will always come to the market.

Nice Clorox ring. Coin is AU50 at best. I don't like these guys.

That seller must be making a fortune with all of the over-graded and/or messed with coins he sells to buyers who don't know better. It's amazing how many such bidders/buyers there are out there

Edited to add: The coin noted in this thread isn't nearly as bad (compared to the seller's grade) as many of his other offerings I've seen.

i posted a coin from this person recently.
it was a half eagle pattern in copper.

but it was gold colored. like it was plated in gold.
i asked some questions about it and i was basically told
this dealer is odd. putting it nicely.

Looks like nine different bidders, that is surprising.
