New batch just out of the cooker!

Yes, most of his stuff is laughable.image...

but some of this stuff looks pretty deceptive, and I am sure I have seen some very similar to this in holders.image

    Laughable? I've seen way worse and if he's cooking them, he isn't leaving them on very long. Very minor color, not worth worrying about IMHO.

    .....those coins are all super lusterous-

    because of the chemical treatment they got prior to applying the obv. tone

    I guess we all have opinions ;

    I suppose you might have more knowledge of how long to cook or bake something then I ..........

    I would say thats somewhat deep tone too - and while they may not worry you , as a Franklin specialist ,

    I find them very worrisome

    I find a lot of things worrisome in our hobby. The fake slabs and coins coming out of China come to mind, along with lazering, whizzing, etc. A dipped and retoned raw Frankie, that looks better than a lot of the ones that are praised here, not so much. And though I have never tried it, I don't think you can "cook" one side of a coin.
