Hey Carl....read the thread through my friend. LOL Did that. Still for me it is difficult to see if what every one says is true. I know it looks sort of odd colored and so many do say the seller is a problem seller but maybe, just maybe, not with this coin. And as I said, just not sure. Quote:
It looks like plastic play money. That part is true. Looks like what my kid used to have to play with. |

While the coins do look coated to me (Odd that there are so many coins exactly the same color being sold by this seller) it should be noted for fairness' sake that 20 or so of the negatives are from the same buyer from a single 20 minute span.

Take our word for it. I've known this doctor for years, it's the same old story. He's preying off of the ignorant and stealing peoples money. The only non-recolored coins he sells are one that failed his process. |

n9jig - You're not seeing his years of negative feedback history. In fairness to the 11,000+ people he has deceived, he should have 100% negative feedback. Look at what he buys, it just can't be anymore obvious what he is doing folks: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...dbackAsBuyer |

Quote:Not to beat a dead horse, but I thought this was interesting. Notice the listing he/she bought on Aug 27th of a 1925s(pay special attention to the small ding on the inside of the rim at approx. 10:00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/120768476987Now notice their current listing of again a 1925s. Anyone else notice a ding in the exact same spot? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1925s-LINCO...em35b5277e7dGotta think it's the same coin just dipped. I have to agree. Also look at the S, like there might be a slight RPM on it and it looks like the same double S in the 2nd listing... |

There's a 1910 in listed in the negative feedback where you can really see what he's doing. What a slimebag ... back in the day ebay used to kick people like that off. |

Hmmm, sad for all those Wheats being doctored.... Oh ya, and the buyers too.
I figured something looked fishy just confirms it now that I look at all the other coins with near identical coloring.
Good catch on noticing what this guy is buying.
Thanks for everyone's input.

It probably is, but if you notice, he uses different angles to aid in his deception because in reality, his coins look like crap after being painted. Years ago I posted several before/after coins of his...he's made it tougher by using extreme angles on his pictures to hide the flaws. However, with enough effort, one can trace back his purchase to all of the recolored coins he is selling. |

I think some people might think it's risky, but I'm going to purchase one of this sellers coins and do a full analysis here on CCF. With paypal buyer protection I won't be out much if the seller doesn't honor their 7 day return policy. I'll do comparisons of the sellers pics with my own high res pics side by side. Some of these look like the guy/gal is getting pretty skillful, and I want to help any novice buyers (and myself) have better eye for these things. Not to mention I'm curious how someone could fool 99.7% of their buyers (4500+ people in the past year alone!)  Sorry, can't quite wrap my head around it. Seems they would complain more when the coin arrived. |

After your done with your visual analysis....which will show the recolorization, rinse it with water, actone and then xylene and see what happens. LOL

That's crazy. Some of those are nice jobs. I would assume it's easier to tell in hand.

Nothing at all looks original about this coin. It is definitely cleaned and treated.
