It's his coin, he can do what he wants, but.....RESPONSE ADDED

AUandAG

does it really add value to the dollars? Obviously AT and it should be disclosed. I
decided to ask this question to this seller:

Dear tinycompany,

If I purchased this dollar how would I remove your coloring? Is it water soluble? Would I have to dip it in a coin "cleaner"? Some of your dollars look like they would be good without that junk you put on them.
thanks and good luck,
bob

Wonder what my response will be.

Nice one, Bob. LOL. Looks like easter egg dye.

Tell us if you get an answer.

WOW!! That's horrible!! I wonder who the jackass is that does this crap? This really is disgusting to say the least

I like his attempt at making the reverse look more natural... however, if anyone thinks it is NOT doctored, I suggest they leave the coin collecting hobby. Cheers, RickO

I mostly agree with your sentiment but there is a small issue.

"Doctor" usually implies someone who knows what they are doing.

That coin was 'interned'. It is a casualty caused by someone studying to become a doctor.

Here's his response and ebay's response to my reporting of non disclosure.


first Tiny's:

"Dear bobandlinda1,

excuse me , sir, but appreciation for toned coins is a matter of aesthetics...surely it is not for everyone but the number of people who do have been on the rise...please be more respectful next time because it is only out of respect that i even replied....................allan
p.s....no, it is not water soluble..

- tinycompany"

Message: I have no problem with this seller artificially toning or
coloring his coins. He does it to all of them. However, since he's
altering the coin he does need to disclose that. Ebay says that all
alterations must be disclosed. Clearly
that is what this seller does on his dollars.

Been down this road with Ebay before...even when you can prove the coins were artificially toned by showing where the seller bought the same untoned coins on ebay they still do nothing so it's just more of their PR garbage to make some folks think they actually do police their site......total joke

joebb21

both those responses are great!

DIMEMAN

OMG

I don't think I have ever seen a coin more blantently AT'ed in my life.

Also the uglyest coin I have ever seen!!!!!


What a POS!!!!

doh

I agree that the coin is ugly as sin and clearly AT'd, but why would it be against eBay policy? How is different than selling a cleaned or polished coin?

devious

if you would buy such an ugly coin, so be it. it's your choice. there's no reason to punish the seller for selling ugly coins. buyers are already punishing themselves by purchasing such crap. there's no reason to report such auction.

Now this would be believable.
It was an amusing question and response.

Bochiman

Not water soluble...would need a brillo pad to get that gunk off

pennyannie

I am not a fan of said auctions or practices.

But if i recieved the question above i would block the person and respond with a get lost type answer.
