Nice, who is Phantom?

Barndog

I like the photo display system that seller uses

AU58WALKERS

HMMMM....I wonder

I bought a raw proof Barber half from him several years ago that was a whizzer under natural toning. He promptly refunded.

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

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.

As for the AT/NT issue....I have no idea.

when in doubt...I'll pass

I know nothing about toned coins....how could a circulated ef 45 tone naturaly like that?

For years, the colors have looked off to me on his pieces. Not enhanced by screwing immensely with the sliders, but just off for some reason...

AT'd going by feedback.

this thread go buried to fast

Barndog

but if it is in plastic of NGC or PCGS, doesn't that mean it is Naturally Toned?

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.

Can you elaborate?

coinlieutenant

I used to own the 1830...sold it for much less than he is asking.

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.

word of "PM"

coinlieutenant

I think that cmanbb used to own the 1807...I think that one is a natural second toning. The color is much less intense than the pic shows.

coinlieutenant

Oh...and I think stman owned the 1811...

Cladiator

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???

coinlieutenant

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.

JRocco

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......

roadrunner

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.

I saw those the other day,my first thought was "they don't look right".Sometimes you have to go with your

first impression.Believe me,I'm no expert,but I'm not buying those on ebay with those pics.

coinlieutenant

I will be watching intently on what these bring.
