This doesn't seem right.

This coin appears AU and artifically toned.

You might want to do a little research on the seller.

coinguy1 · January 22, 2011 7:34AM

Regardless of whom the seller is, the coin looks AT to me, and possibly/probably AU.

Wow , he is expert in getting ebay to remove the many negs , that's a heck of a trick.

This one is even funnier
Toned bullion now.

Edited, fixed it.

Are you kidding me? That stuff is ridiculous.

From the listing : " Boy, I think I've been bitten by the Rainbow bug lately. "

think it might have been a stinkbug

BlackDiamond · January 23, 2011 4:57AM

Did he ever sell his 3-legged buffalo?

cmerlo1 · January 23, 2011 4:59AM

Here we go again.

nutz4coinz · January 23, 2011 3:10PM

It will continue....I guess Larry didn't get through to him, judging by his yotube in that currency debacle on the currency forum, where he burned another alt (he must have all his friends just travel to wi-fi cafes and apply for usernames for him...he's had more alts). Nobody will get through to him...he'll continue this till he tires of the hobby (hopefully he will, but until buyers stop buying his overpriced, juiced, cleaned merchandise, it will just go on and on). His toned coin section grows (he used to call it 'Toned Glory'), as does his 'shopping' skills, apparently. Remember, he actually cleaned the bar about a year ago. Now it's nice and toned again...could it be he's becoming a doctor, too? Perhaps interning with someone?

His prices are totally outrageous, though, he can sell for whatever he wants, as long as there's a carp, flounder, or bass willing to pay his asking price......take This medal.....graded ones on TT, in PCGS 68, are fetching a whopping $75-$85.

The 3 legger was sold, raw, and he did get positive feedback, even though more than a few contacted the buyer and told him what happened (some even linking the now poofed thread about it), and explained it wouldn't holder, after he cracked it out and did whatever he did to it. I remember it WAS the nicest 3 legger in history (according to him, after getting it from Heritage), until it was pointed out to him it had a print on it. He would have never known unless it was pointed out to him, because it was the nicest one he'd ever seen...but he had loads of experience back then. He sent it to NCS, it re-graded AU in a problem free NGC holder.

But then came the Proof Walker debacle, where the original buyer (after the seller cracked it out of an AU holder, then sold it as a 62/63 raw) balked at it after being advised it was cracked out. Then the seller went off against this forum in the item description the next time he listed it, and it did sell, and ultimately got positive feedback.

I am not so sure he gets much negative FB, except what you see he's already gotten. I'd NEVER deal with him, but there are carp, flounder and bass that apparently do. Eventually the fish will get full, but then he'll find another way to do what he does best.

Tdec1000 · January 23, 2011 3:23PM

So does he know how to make hobo's too...check out all the hobo nickels/halves he has been putting online. Who is gonna pay for that crap?

stealer · January 23, 2011 3:55PM

He sells pens...Link

JamesMurray · January 23, 2011 4:08PM

I used to give nicer pens away for the free advertising , i'm sure others have too.It really stretches the imagination hoping to sell something like that.

PQpeace · January 24, 2011 1:32AM

I am talking to Jay every day.
He is trying hard.
Give him some slack for a few weeks.
I know he wants to do well.
He is my project now..but give me some time..no flames please

relicsncoins · January 24, 2011 2:38AM

Regardless of the seller, it's really a pet pieve of mine when a seller calls this type of toning "rainbow" When is the last time you saw a blue and violet rainbow. It's missing about 4 colors.

mrcoin3 · January 24, 2011 2:55AM

I offered him $10 for it.

Just because you asked Larry, I won't flame him. Good Luck though.

I've gotten a couple like that from dealers here as freebies. Wow. Nine bucks on that one, after shipping.

PS- oh, wait... the pen has a "highly detailed hand-made logo". Never mind. That changes things.

Edited to: the seller observed my comments here about a contradictory description of the coin in the listing, and responded that he was editing the title after he read my comment. By the fact that he demonstrated a professional approach to his request of me to edit my comments, I have removed the prior comment made in this post. Larry, I'm confident that your help is respected and that the subject of this thread will make a determined effort to grow in a professional manner.

Tdec1000 · January 24, 2011 4:51AM

He is trying to be enterprising and inovative. Trying to make a dollar is the american way. If Larry supports him and is trying to help him out then I will hold back on any neg comments as well.

Tom

PQpeace · January 24, 2011 5:00AM

I have not had time to look at every listing that he has..yet..
I am working with him to try and help him do the right thing.
I will be seeing him again tomorrow for another lesson.
The pens have been removed.
Please give him some slack for a week or so.
If he doesn't listen to me,and do a better job,I will give up on him.
He really seems to want to do well.
I like the kid,and don't want him to do something stupid if he feels like he has no choice.

Its been 3 weeks since the fun show...

Selling At'd coins and claiming they are legit ms coins is no no however you look at it.

I commend you for your efforts, but I believe "project" might not be a correct choice of words in your above statement.
"Exercise in futility" may be the better description.

NotSure · January 24, 2011 9:54AM

This almost doesn't seem right......buys this one from a superb seller, only to try to flip it for MORE than TWICE what he paid here. Just incredible.

JamesMurray · January 24, 2011 10:09AM

Gotta make up the lost revenue from the pens ?

Oh, SNAP!!

PQpeace · January 24, 2011 12:45PM

Some of you guys have way too much time on your hands if you can search ebay to what and where guys buy their coins from.
I don't have a free moment ever to do that.

If I had spare time,I would use it for a good cause..JMO

I think a lot of collectors attempt to trace the provenance of their coins, whether it be to the owner of the coin last week or the owner 50 years ago. I see that as part of the fun of collecting.

lordmarcovan · January 24, 2011 1:03PM

OK, sorry I giggled about the pen thing.

He does have one coin I drooled over- that ancient Macedonian goldie. No comment on the price, but it sure is a beautiful coin.

rld14 · January 25, 2011 3:24AM

Meh, let him sell whatever he wants to, I couldn't care less about the kid. After seeing what he wrote about Cameron, I dropped him from my humanity list.

PQpeace · January 25, 2011 5:52AM

I just looked at the 84-O with rim toning in question.
The coin is at least a 63,so not AU. Has a typical O mint weak strike.
The toning is questionable,so it will be changed in the ebay listing.
Workin on it

Well I guess I should be happy that I was able to add one of these pens in the Illini Collection before they were taken off the market!

Actually Jay gave me one of the pens when I saw him at one of the local shows here in SoCal. And all kidding aside, I wish Jay and Larry the best of luck.

JamesMurray · January 25, 2011 5:58PM

Somewhat surprising the pen isn't monster toned.

This doesn't seem right.
