Someone ATS asked him why they were not listed as AT. Here is his response:
"No need to is why, a person whom buys any of the coins should be able to tell the dif. between AT or NT IMO if not they shouldn'y buy toned coins but that is just IMHO. As for these coins the buyers mostly buy them because they like the colors and because they like the coin and this is the way it should be don't buy if you don't like is a good way to collect I think but yet again that is IMHO. thanks again all for looking. Mel"
paraphrasing: "I don't disclose, because I think buyers should be able to tell the difference; and thus those that buy from me thinking they are getting MONSTER TONED coins that they 'won't see like this again' are getting screwed.
"Nevertheless, I needn't bother with educating the buyers of my PRIVATE AUCTIONS... of course 'that is just in my humble opinion.'"
There's the criminal mind at work, rationalizing his misdeeds.

And, other than attacking people, what was your purpose? If you are, indeed, this "Mel" character, then you do a disservice to the hobby and shouldn't be allowed on the message boards.

Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
Well, maybe. But it's also worthwhile to discuss artificial toning ripoffs, both to educate people and to wonder about the effect of scammers on the hobby.
I assume, funny, from your writing style (such as it is) and your defensiveness that you are the ebay member "mel" selling the items in question. You don't have much to add here except "leave me alone," and your laughter shows you out to be cynical and angry -- no doubt your feelings of entitlement to other collectors' money are really being rubbed raw here. Best of luck enjoying your nickel-and-dime profits and all the respect you earn from members of the coin community.
my name is john u moron I think its funny that if someone sticks up for someone they are labeled as that person they are sticking up for.. just goes to show ur narrow mindset that thinks no one sticks up for other ppl its really funny. So if you don't like me sticking up for the seller on ebay then get over it.. hows that for chicken sh*t
John, you got the mel impression down pat. Spelling, punctuation (or lack thereof), mangled language. But thank you very much for showing up, and keep posting

John Mel, my moron credentials are quite well established, thank you. Now I'm bucking for a promotion to village idiot, but looks like I gotta go through you to get there

Ok, so you say you aren't Mel, but your name is really "John U. Moron"?
Well, Mr Moron, you seem to have nothing to add, and I doubt you ever have added anything useful. You should visit the Open Forum and you will have lots of fun there
<< <i>I think the toned nickels are kinda cool. He or she takes some gorgeous pics. The images look as good as True View, IMO. >>
You're not wrong. It's sad to see talent get wasted like this.
Would it be so hard for Mel to say in his auctions, "these are artificially toned by me, Mel the artist, and this is number 7 in a series of 100"? "Get them now before Artificial Toning takes off as a legitimate art form and I become famous?" Would that really even dent the prices realized?

Hell yeah! Get a few thousand slabs and make his own ARTificially Toned labels! Solicit submissions from other starving artists! Automatically reject NT coins and forward them to NGC for a star-quality slab!
If he doesn't, somebody should. Turn the AT market on its ear! Become the PCGS of the pretty-coin set!
