HRH might want to get some of this for the old sniffer!!

AnkurJ · January 31, 2011 3:08PM

My God...

MikeInFL · January 31, 2011 3:11PM

Saw this posted somewhere else a few days ago.

Frankly, I wanted to buy it. For edification not nefarious purposes.

It is a bit worrying.

GrumpyEd · January 31, 2011 3:12PM

WOW!
It will be interesting to read the FBs of the buyers to see when they start selling their instant toners.

BigRick · January 31, 2011 3:12PM

The coin docs strike back.

Teva · January 31, 2011 3:22PM

Not exactly news stuff like that has been around for a long time.
Same stuff different name I would guess?

Kinda makes you wonder.

That guy went away for years, and I see he's back. In the summer of 2005 he lifted a picture of mine and used it in his auction. Some back-and-forth letters drafted by a lawyer friend and a few days later I had $50 in my pocket

Good for you Jeremy!! This guy is a crook of the worst kind....enabling others to be crooks.

WoodenJefferson · January 31, 2011 4:28PM

So, what is this stuff? Would the EPA be interested? Would the USPS be interested?

Tdec1000 · January 31, 2011 4:34PM

<< So, what is this stuff? Would the EPA be interested? Would the USPS be interested? >>

I'm sure PCGS would be interested to see what this crap is. Probably a liquid sulfer solution.

StubbyMcNumbthumbs · January 31, 2011 4:39PM

All of a sudden, the value of nicely toned coins becomes equal to the value of non-toned/blast white coins. As it should be.

Ironic.

clackamas · January 31, 2011 4:52PM

It need not be much more than clorox in a little bottle. Chlorine will tone a silver coin blue, just need a little vapor.

BTW - Have you seen the quotes of "feedback" in the auction... whoa

SFBayArea · January 31, 2011 5:09PM

Anyone can tone a coin.. to tone one that has the NT color progression artificially is tough. None of those coins in the pictures would get slabbed in a PCGS holder if you ask me. If it was so good, I would be charging $100,000 for the secret. I wouldn't take it seriously unless he posts results with NT looking coins. The buyers are just amateaurs who have no idea what a NT coin should look like. It's probably some sulfur solution.

Coppercolor · January 31, 2011 11:47PM

Come on, the three coins the guy has listed are gross. So me thinks the OP is pulling our leg.

I think in one minute flat I could teach a brand new collector to weed these coins out of pile of NT coins. Surely collectors on this site look at enough coins to make the same differentiation.

coin22lover · January 31, 2011 11:56PM

It looks like liver of sulfur to me...it has a yellow tint; My sister uses it on jewelry. Very cheap stuff, you could make gallons of it for 20 bucks.

Monstarcoins · February 1, 2011 12:10AM

A little bottle of "juice" on Ebay is not gonna effect the toning market. The toning market is here to stay against the wishes of some collectors.

Not quite

Lets not forget about some of the other things that you can buy on Ebay such as ->> http://cgi.ebay.com/12-E-Zest-Coin-Jewelry-Cleaner-5oz-Gold-Silver-E-Z-Est-/300521355368?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f877f868#ht_1895wt_798

100% Natural Coin Toner Solution

I got a kick out of their use of the word "Natural".

ebaybuyer · February 1, 2011 12:22AM

people sometimes forget, this is still america, where things that arent illegal to own can still openly be bought and sold, im sure a few of you will buy some just to leave the guy negative feedback, even if the stuff works just like he says it will.

crypto79 · February 1, 2011 1:11AM

If those coins were simply put up on a new thread how many people would come back saying NT??? I think quite a few

jmski52 · February 1, 2011 1:28AM

All of his glowing endorsements were written by the same under-educated shill.

Tdec1000 · February 1, 2011 1:46AM

I am not pulling anyone's leg. I believe that empowering the uneducated with the tools to deceive is wrong. Overnight coin doctors is something this hobby needs less of.

adamlaneus · February 1, 2011 1:49AM

<< Customer Feedback
WOW!!THIS STUFF IS UNBELIEVEABLE!! well i took your advise,i started with some circulated silver rosevelt dimes.1st one was blacker than the ace of spades,by the time i did about 4 dimes i was starting to make some decent dimes.then i moved up to my au kennedy silver .50 cent pieces,man those turned out very nice.this stuff works pretty dog-gone fast,it needs to come of in a jiffy.i'm glad i took your advise doing a trial test with my cheapies,i tried it on a 1975 dime,it didn't appear to even phase it.but this stuff reacts super fast with pure silver.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi I could use a gallon, I totally love your product man you should see the coins I did they are awesome. No seriously make me an offer and put together some volume, I am not going to resale it in no way, my friends are going to freak when they see this, do you know how long I have been trying to make something to do this about 3 years no such luck. I know how to tone a penny and they look natural and great,you will be amazed at all the colors they are really nice, I made about 100. The problem I had is taking a picture and the colors showing on a copper coin. You started something I will be one of your big customer on this. I might let my friends no about you maybe. Anyway, put together a package deal and let me know I want this right away, I will even pay for fast shipping. >>

Is it just me or does this sound like five customer reviews from the same 'customer'?

crazyhounddog · February 1, 2011 1:53AM

What are some of the tell tell signs of an artificially toned coin vs a naturally toned one?

You would think he would sell a cleaning dip to go with it.

MorganMan67 · February 1, 2011 2:47AM

I thought the same thing

Tdec1000 · February 1, 2011 4:32AM

Hopefully PCGS takes notice of this new chemical that turns normal folks into Dr.Coin Jekyll's (nice one LordM) and put it to the list of chems the sniffer will be testing for.

fiveNdime · February 1, 2011 7:01AM

i tried to search tone a coin / tone-a-coin, may want to include that in the title.

this is my favorite: My method and formula will not damage or destroy your coin because the actual solution will never come in contact with your coin.
dont forget your respirator!

Is there a special discount if you are a member of that group that allows coin doctors? P something or other?

Coppercolor · February 1, 2011 11:01PM

<< I am not pulling anyone's leg. I believe that empowering the uneducated with the tools to deceive is wrong. Overnight coin doctors is something this hobby needs less of. >>

Oh I agree and don't get me started. Education is key, but I fear board members don't bother to take the time to look at enough toned coins to really begin to see that there is tremendous nuance, there are patterns by date/mm, there are known and unknown colors for date/mm of each series. It's like they look at a kid's painting and say it's a Picasso, or a Picasso and say it's a kid's painting.

Learning the nuances is the key to unlocking the AT/NT debate. Sticking to one series, and even a date range and looking at all the coins you can possibly get a hold is what it takes. This will save you 90% of the time in my estimation, in my opinion, maybe more. The rest honestly, we often leave up to PCGS, but even then it helps to be suspicious and to watch for new evolving patterns or new AT techniques. One emerged about six months or a year ago and astute collectors caught on, PCGS did too but not right away.

Let me restate:

Is there anybody posting on this board, who has collected coins for more than a couple weeks who is really fooled by the completely amateur toning depicted on the Ebay site in the OP?

johnny9434 · February 2, 2011 5:00AM

what a bummer, more stuff the docs can work on now

JapanJohn · February 2, 2011 5:09AM

I wouldn't buy or use that in a million years but as much as I hate to say it like someone else said, it's America. People are free to do this whether we like it or not.

No that wasn't the intent of the Orignal Post. It was to show people what the toning craze has become. Yes there are individuals out there who would be fooled. Most likely newbies to the coin game.
