Kerry67 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 9:30 pm Check out this coin. I just got it off ebay. Great shape but the toning looks awful fake to me. The seller has several toned coins for sale and has a few hundred positive feedbacks from selling coins. Could this be natural ? I don't know enough to tell....What do you think ?

50cents Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 11:30 pm Always buy coins with a return policy on ebay. A good way to tell if a ebay seller is selling AT coins; All of his auctions will have the same AT color coins. Learn for this and you will be fine. I will be glad to look at any Walker auction for you just e-mail me beforehand. Report this Post to the Staff

I say that because of that funky blue color again, that looks like it was poured on the coin. Color shouild not 'float' like that. The third coin is hard to tell from the images, but that type of toning would command no premium anyways. Again, melt. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't know enough to tell....What do you think ? Kerry67, is it possible to return that coin? If you just got it off the bay, I would send her back and keep a lookin'. That type of toning actually detracts from a coins worth......it is now essentially worth melt. If you are gonna dabble in a little color, I would recommend sticking with pcgs, ngc or anacs coins while you get a feel for whats real. Image: rainbow.jpg 44.21 KB Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 01/05/2007 09:24 am Sorry, but it is AT. Look at the wear, and the AT was probably used to hide polishing. Report this Post to the Staff
