Following the Trail of some eBay Kennedy Halves

Purchase this 1967 Kennedy on Dec. 14th
Then "AT" it and flip it right back on eBay
(The 'tell' is the streak of darker tone that runs the width of the obverse. Also the crud close to the date matches.)
There's a few other Kennedys he's done that with, running right now, too.
For example:
This 1969-D Kennedy
Was purchased right here
Here's my favorite though:
Purchase a 1978 Proof set on Dec. 10th
Then 'tone' and sell the singles here and here.
The color on some is amazing.
I guess if he messes up he can always use this auction purchase!

...This is spooky, just so spooky! Monster wild toned commems are off of my wantlist for this reason, among others.
That takes BALLS! Guy is a fraud.

You can say that again. What a Dork
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

Other than spread the word in our community, no, not much.
Not against the law to blowtorch or bake coins.

Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.

<< <i>Can anything be done? >>
avoid bidding on their auctions! Thanks for the post, another butthole seller to avoid selling blatant AT coins......

Way to go.
Block this guy and send him an E-Bay PM about the toning.
Here's is my PM to the guy:
You have some monster toned coins....monster artificially toned.
You've been caught.
If you think I'm wrong, send your AT coins to PCGS or NGC and prove me wrong, then put them back on E-Bay.

Also, were the auctions PRIVATE before? They certainly are now.
Not the best way... but there's nothing else you can do!

I wonder if this bozo is a forum member? He has certainly made it clear that he is watching the forum in a recent Ebay message.
Guess he doesnt like being called onto the carpet!

"You are a con man! You purchased this coin UNTONED on Decemeber 14th, Item # 190060427422, and now you are selling the same coin as Monster Rainbow Toned. You artificially toned it yourself! You are a sleaze and ebay has been notified!!!!!"
He responded with:
"GO TO HELL YOU DON'T LIKE MY COINS YOU CAN GO ELSE WHERE, AS FOR EBAY THEY WILL DO NOTHING CAUSE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY LISTINGS. MORON."
I responded, letting him know that he's been outed on this forum, and he responded to me with the following:
"YOUR FUNNY AN YET SLOW I HAVE KNOW ABOUT THAT BUNCH OF RETARTED MORONS RUNNING THEIR SUCK CAUSE THEY HAVE NO LIFE AND NOTHING BETTER TO DO AS FOR YOU...YOU ARE JUST A WASTE OF SPERM AN CAN'T HELP BEING A MORON HAVE A NICE DAY..ASS"
