The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1390 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012 09:47 am On a whim today, I searched up "toned Morgan dollars" on ebay and THIS was the top result: http://cgi.ebay.com/130677513037 I believe that there have been previous discussions on CCF about this guy or one like him who puts "AT" in his item title for a nicely toned morgan. Many people said it was likely a blowtorch that did coins like this one. I just wanted to let you know that he is still selling , but has an explanation for "AT" at the bottom of the page. It's still hard to see. By ebay rules, is this wrong, or this misleading to anyone but us (coin enthusiasts) but ok by ebay regulations? Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012 10:04 am Personally I do not care for the coins but now that AT is spelled out in regular font, I do not think it is misleading. The seller also has a 14 day return policy which I think is fair. Edited by CoinsKelly 04/08/2012 10:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1390 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012 3:48 pm CoinsKelly good point, what about this one, everyone? http://cgi.ebay.com/180858672227 Since when is an 1886 in MS-64 worth $975? My Red Book has it at $175 in MS-65!! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012 4:57 pm Numismedia has it at $85. I think the second guy is a shark but has enough information that a buyer should be able to make an informed choice. At some point buyers need to take responsibility for their purchases, Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter53562 Pillar of the Community United States 2049 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012 5:26 pm The first one clearly states (in my opinion) Artificially Toned, so I don't see what's misleading about it. The second example the seller is free to ask whatever they want for it. If someone is naive enough to pay $975 for that coin, that's not the seller's fault. He's not making any claims of it being worth $975 so I am wondering what you think is misleading about this one? Report this Post to the Staff
The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1390 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012 9:36 pm Coin hunter, You are right... I just thought that the outrageous price was rather funny. Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! Report this Post to the Staff
mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012 11:14 pm I've seen that Cowboy up dude selling these junk Morgans for years. He only recently changed to telling you in the listing that they are artificially toned. Honest or not, its not hard to take advantage of the naive. <<Staff edit: Family friendly remember?>> Report this Post to the Staff
