    The sellers material left me speechless. The grading skills did also.

    Yuk and Yuk.

    I've heard of rainbow toning before, but that takes it to new heights. I'll pass.

    Spray paint was worth every penny. Obviously, just another reason why Caveat Emptor protects Ebay.

    Boiled in food coloring would be closer to being right, but NOT!

    Hard to say how this guys is doing this but is definitely a waste of talent. Looks like one of those shopping mall air brush artists making some side money.

    Whats sad is this guy will be hard to discourage as if he sells even one coin it pays for all of the others.

    On a GOOD note, the method he uses gives off fumes that among other things EATS tooth enamel! The stuff he is working with is quick and dirty and has a few other unhealthy side effects!

    Probably the worst job I've seen so far using this method which can make quite attractive novelty colored coins. None using this method will holder by the way even if done expertly. This guy is probably the dumbest most worthless numismatist wannabee in the world. I doubt he will sell very many things, but one never knows. He is probably a holdover from the time around 4-5 years ago that this method became widely known in the scam seller circles. We used to see a lot of these coins but very few now.
