Wow! First Strike too!

Goldbully · July 11, 2007 12:57PM

Are those baby milkies in that rainbow???????????????

DJCoinz · July 11, 2007 12:58PM

And would you look at who's bidding on it!!

I think he needs a buying account.

TomB · July 11, 2007 1:02PM

That baby was such an early strike that it was just steaming as it came off the line!

braddick · July 11, 2007 1:03PM

What?

Are you guys saying NGC got it wrong and it's not a First Strike?

anablep · July 11, 2007 1:04PM

Blech.

ldhair · July 11, 2007 1:05PM

The images are from greattoning's site. Is this his auction?

SkyMan · July 11, 2007 1:09PM

I still don't understand the top TPG's slabbing a blatantly AT coin. It P_SSES me off!!!

123cents · July 11, 2007 1:14PM

I think it's a gas.

stman · July 11, 2007 1:15PM

<< I still don't understand the top TPG's slabbing a blatantly AT coin. It P_SSES me off!!! >>

Now, Now, I learned right here on this board these things are almost pure silver and they "tone" up faster.

dizzyfoxx · July 11, 2007 1:22PM

That coin has "stman collection" written all over it......

p8nt · July 11, 2007 1:25PM

They do tone up faster, but not quite like that. The colors on that are too off and undoubtedly AT.

This is the most wildly toned NT ASE I've seen.

I think that is the first toned ASE I have ever seen that I liked

CappedBustDimes · July 11, 2007 2:09PM

Too bad he has "No opinion as to the originality of this coin."

Doogy · July 11, 2007 2:10PM

how soon we forget this.............thing

click here for the more famous example

It must, he searched for it.

oldcameoproofsguy · July 11, 2007 2:25PM

NGC needs to tighten up on the crap they'll slab.

I was at the coin store today and I saw a blowtorch buffalo in an NGC slab.

DieClash · July 11, 2007 2:27PM

It even has milk spots on it!

Hold on now....no one here knows if it was like that when it was slabbed (ie....AT'ed in under a month) or was blast white and then gassed or something while in the NGC holder.....

Good point.

stman · July 11, 2007 3:04PM

Oh, I wouldn't doubt someone here indeed knows.

clw54 · July 11, 2007 3:06PM

Stare at the center of that thing and then look at a white wall.

<------ for stman

Bochiman · July 11, 2007 3:08PM

<< Oh, I wouldn't doubt someone here indeed knows. >>

I was trying to be nice

Let's say "no one who is saying anything about the coin is going to admit to knowing and so most of us don't know...."....better?

I haven't followed the first strike topic that closely, but I thought to get a first strike designation, the coin had to be submitted in sealed packaging.

stman · July 11, 2007 3:15PM

clw54, don't start!

clw54 · July 11, 2007 3:19PM

How did that flashback ever get slabbed?

stman · July 11, 2007 3:26PM

Hey, if I think it's "pretty" and I like it, that's all that matters. ( I learned that right here on this board as well)

ArgentumRex · July 11, 2007 3:34PM

Oh come on now. Them coins is right purdy and y'all know it. Now move along, nothing to see here

coingame2000 · July 11, 2007 4:33PM

This appeared in the "sellers" description/comments -- "No opinion as to the originality of this coin." I guess that says it all...

BAJJERFAN · July 11, 2007 9:33PM

<< I haven't followed the first strike topic that closely, but I thought to get a first strike designation, the coin had to be submitted in sealed packaging >>

Or struck on one of those specially PRE-TONED blanks that the mint sometimes uses.

TonedCoinTrader · July 12, 2007 12:14AM

Gassed in the holder or the coin was taken out toned then reholdered by the %&)%%*#___ (seller) would be my guess...

lol. spit my ice coffee onto my monitor. there should be a warning
about these threads.

Nah, that one's nothin..... Posted this before.... I still don't know how this one got this way but it was after I moved and had a bunch of loose coins in a box in the garage. It's the only one that toned on both sides.

airplanenut · July 12, 2007 1:16AM

My vote is also for the coin being gassed in the holder. I don't agree with a lot of the eagles NGC or PCGS slab, but I can't believe a 100% boldly toned piece would ever make it through within a month of release as a blast white coin.

TonedCoinTrader · July 12, 2007 2:12AM

Auction # 2

I think it could have been toned before submitting. It just does not have that "MOC Toned" look.

RYK · July 12, 2007 2:51AM

Those ASEs readily tone in sunlight, at least they do when they are raw. I wonder if sunlight could tone them in the holder.

Cladiator · July 12, 2007 2:53AM

A fool and his money...

Cladiator · July 12, 2007 4:35AM

The seller just pulled the auctions. My guess would be that a private treaty was made between the seller and an unknown buyer to purchase the coins outside of eBay.

Connecticoin · July 12, 2007 7:37AM

No, he probably saw this thread.

Bochiman · July 12, 2007 7:41AM

Oh, it's probably a really safe bet that someone emailed him a link to this thread (if he isn't already a member).
But, I would bet someone did, or is, trying to get the SAEs off ebay

(not me....I love nicely NTed SAEs but I wouldn't touch those as that is way too unbelievable for me.)

CappedBustDimes · July 12, 2007 7:51PM

This seller is a member and also linked to this " GreatToning " seller.
