I pm this guy on the bay and point out that all of his toners have the same colors, regardless of the dates. He informs me that he clearly states that the coins are heat toned. LOL. So I look at the auction description and I see "ht" , no mention of "heat toned". Low and behold, I ran across a very similarly toned Washie in a PCGS holder with a BIN of $788. It's a jungle out there folks. image

    Here's the reverse of a 1990 that he did. I bought and saw the heat toned after I paid. Just kept it and keep it as a reminder to read and UNDERSTAND everything the seller says.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees
    Thrown in a bunch of modern proofs on aluminum foil
    Bake until coins have colors
    Let cool
    Sell on eBay

    Serves as many eBayer's that are dumb enough to buy them.
  • ht .. didn't realize that was a disclaimer. I mean it's completely obvious now.. Why wouldn't I assume that some random ht meant "Heat Toned".

    You guys that like toners should just fry up whatever you like instead of paying a fortune for them, cut out the middleman , save a bundleimage

    If the only mention of the artificial toning is a cameo appearance by the letters "ht," there's clearly an attempt to deceive.

    Same could be said for those 100 year old blast white silver coins that just don't have much luster. If I may borrow from Johnny Cochran, if the color don't fit, dip before you submit. image

    This is why I never pay more for toning on ANY coin.

    Having done extensive experimentation, years ago, myself... this does not surprise me... what continues to amaze me is the premiums paid for colorful tarnish...much of which is AT and when done right, NO ONE can detect the difference.... However, people can spend their money any

    way they choose.... Cheers, RickO

    How convenient that he uses an abbreviation in his item description for "HT" --



    Could someone please reveal this seller's eBay name, or link to an auction?
