From sellers description Quote: I HAVE COLLECTED THOUSANDS OF TONED Wheat penny'S OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS AND NOW I AM RELEASING THEM BACK INTO THE WORLD AND ARE NOW FOR SALE. HA..it gets worseTHESE COINS ARE HARD TO COME BY AND IT HAS TAKEN COUNTLESS ESTATE AUCTIONS OVER THE YEARS BEFORE I FINALLY CAME ACROSS SUCH A COLLECTION That used to be BN and problem free. I HOPE YOU FIND THE ONE THAT COMPLETES YOUR OWN COLLECTION AND ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I HAVE. HA, ok, you mean the coins you just bought yesterday and threw under the torch and now hate to part with for such a profit... His disclaimer below this in the description is entertaining as well, you know, just in case it happens to come back from a TPG as AT. Edited by Ty2020b

that's not the color of the coin, he's tweeked the picture color more than it actually is, nothing copper or silver tones to this level even artificially.
He also puts in his listings "As a side note: Grading Company's Today are very uneasy about Toned Coins, I can't promise that a grading company will not come back with anything other than a Questionable Color or Altered Color Verdict. We have had success story's of them coming back as Brown on occasion!"
and
"Please don't leave negative feedback if you're disappointed with what you received...... Always contact me first!"
also seems like he's got his own group of customers that like what he offers and how it's presented. Buyer beware, but that's all I can really say about that. he's being up front about it and what he's doing.
he knows the pictures don't represent the true colors of the coin.

I contacted him, received a rather unflattering reply.

I see purple and electric blue are his favorite colors! That's due to how he's doing it. MS-70, which is what both him and MikesMountainValues use to AT their coins, are known for lighting up coins purple and blue. That's the reason you'll never seen greens on any coppers they sell. |

Love the way he brags that he's "releasing" the thousands of toned Lincolns he's found over the last 20 years.

These are gross. I get hobo nickels and even storing in old sulfur envelopes. Shouldn't "Gorgeous Natural Toning!" be against the law?

Scammers are free to operate at will on ebay, unfortunately. |
