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 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?
