Looks to me like the pics were taken in just that perfect angle and light to show the coloring at it's strongest, the images don't look tweaked to me like some of the Battle Creek ones do.

when in doubt...I'll pass
I know nothing about toned coins....how could a circulated ef 45 tone naturaly like that?

I agree. I've seen his auctions before and wonder if he uses something smilar to MOC for toning coins in the slab...

I don't think it's all that toned. Look at the third picture down where it shows the entire slab. It looks like a normal half there.
So these coins are from at least three different forum members. Is the seller a forum member? Someone we know? Someone that could post to this thread???
Phanton is not a forum member as far as I know. He has an ebay rep of selling AT coins, or at least juiced pics.
At least a couple of those are AT IMO, but I would love to own the 1811 if it looks like the pics that Mark took of them for stman a while back. It used to be in an OGH MS62 holder.
I don't like the color of the plastic slab in the first pic of the 07. I am not saying that the pic is tweaked in any way, but why does the plastic have rainbow colors ?????
edited to add----I guess that 1811 did not get the better # when it was sent back in......
I looked at a number of the Phantom coins going off this past weekend. If I recall correctly there was a pretty PCGS PF64 Barber half where seller stated that any scratches were on the holder. On this one it was very clear that a staple scratch zig-zagged perfectly from field to neck to chin. That was no holder scratch.

Looking through the feedback (mine was in 2003), I See Dog, Boom, Kaz, Oreville, and several other forumites.

Can you elaborate?
I have three monster toners left from my collection...and I thought I was asking strong money. Guess I need to bump up the prices.
Edited to change 1831 to 1830.
