    Certified or not, I'm very wary of toned coins displaying mostly shades of amber, hot pink, and electric blue. These are by far the easiest colors to AT a coin quickly.

    This seller has been discussed before. He has 'toned down' his AT'ing, as they USED to be neon that would almost seemingly glow in the dark. I have an image of his earlier AT'ing somewhere, must be 2 years or so, old. Anything that this seller has that is toned is AT'ed, which is why none are holdered. I wish I could dig up his past feedback. As it is, the negs allude to his juicing the images. I gotta find the one I save from a few years ago (on my old machine), it was a Bust half, I THINK, but the damn thing looked like it was just so colorful, the newest newb could tell.
    I'll come up with something.

    Lindedad is correct. After he talks about not paying internet taxes, he DOES state this early on (well, 11 lines down in his description, which simply distracts one, with all the talk about internet taxes):

    (AT)*, Cartwheel Luster, XF+/AU.

    It's waaaaaaay down at the bottom that he actually discloses what (AT)* is, and what method he uses, as Lindedad shows:

    He must have a good recipe to get consistent results like that. Nice way to sell common AU Morgans for $46.

    Note he calls his store "Romans 10:9" coins. I hope he donates his ill-gotten gains to his church!

    it could be Roman Candles 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1- ZERO, Blast Off, too. I don't think Jesus would be pleased with any theft, deceit, lies or foolery. He said he came to fulfill the scriptures and to establish the truth. Simple enough. The Church is another story. And even if it's dipped, it's not that high a price to pay for vibrant colors for those people who are believers in such.

    I personally, as a believer , don't care for the color and would be OKAY with the DIP crowd for some of this "crap" under a hundy

    It's very interesting to me to look through older Morgan books. I have one with a few color plates that show some end-roll, textile, crescent and other such toning. The coins are nice, but pretty subdued by today's standards, even considering that only some of it is making its way into slabs. Perhaps the plates have faded or weren't reproduced all that well??????

    I remain pretty skeptical about most rainbow Morgans on the market.

    Been doing this for years, just like CHD pointed out. At least he admits it and is slowly depleting the supply of common date Morgans.

    There should be a law against doing this to coins!

    This attitude of being able to do anything you want to a coin because you own it and you have the right...IS JUST WRONG!!!image

    Yes he's honest about destroying all the Morgans he can get his hands on. Really nice , eh?? Yes and I agree there should be a law against what he's doing.
