    All I can say is he did not lie, but if someone was that dumb even eighty year old cops would be of little use now.

    Sellers like this are the ones who should be worried about the cops. Toning a coin like that should be a crime.

    I don't understand the listing ... is he saying one can't tell the difference between AT and NT? Is he saying his AT coin looks prettier than the NT coins? Ugh.
    Let's try not to get upset.

    I think the whole listing is completely stupid. This guy need more to do!

    What is wrong the listing? I think it is a good way to educate collectors who may not know how to identify AT and NT morgans.

    Interesting but expensive way to show off one's collection.

    Look at all the other listings! This makes me sad.

    eBay makes good money, it would be wise for them to have a PNG member with solid references on retainer to look out for silliness like this!

    this seller needs more things to do to occupy thier time.

    One ugly SOB for sure. I'm drawing a positive from AT coins, keep on destroying common date material, someday an 1885O may not be so common.

    Then there's this guy, at least he comes clean about his stuff. A few look BU. He's been doing this for years and buyers keep going back. Banging head on my desk image

    Not really expensive when they give out free listings by the 20,000 lots.image I'm working on my second lot now.

    What a great seller this person is...

    List a peice of junk and tell the world it is such, then turn around and sell other junk as if it is not junk. The only other listing I looked at was his 82S PL Morgan that he/she has for 100 dollars graded as a 60-something PL. It is a cleaned piece of junk.

    The ugliest Unc. Morgans I've ever seen were 8 of the 12 GSA Morgans I received from the Mint in 1979.

    the only thing as ugly as an AT'd coin is one thats stripped white, then slabbed at a few grades above what it actually is
    regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

    I've seen a few Seated $s in MS 65 as described above.
