Does this look like AC (artificial cameo) on a Franklin proof?

The cameo effect seems to go into the fields. However, it may be just scratches on the holder. Difficult to tell.

    Yes, it is.

    It's the same coin I posted about here.

    Looks like it got returned.

    Nothing to be sorry about. It's interesting that the buyer took a look at it and returned it. He should have contacted PCGS to get it off the market.

    Well, now double-shame on Teletrade for allowing this fake-frost coin to be auctioned, AGAIN!! Does anyone from Teletrade watch these boards??

    That is one ugly POS cameo Frankie - I hope it gets taken off the market.

    Teletrade has no incentive (other than to build its integrity) to pull the coin - they are only selling the coin for the consignor. On the other hand, if Teletrade owns the coin, they ought to send it to PCGS under the terms of the grading guarantee.

    Okay... just a question... Has anyone ever contacted Teletrade when one of these coins shows up to notify them of what they are selling? Just wondering what there reply was, if any.
