coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 08/23/2010 03:18 am That these sellers selling huge amounts of blatant AT coins have 'top rated seller' rankings. People pay 3x melt for this garbage and give positive feedback almost 100% of the time! Unbelievable! This is why 1/4 or 1/3 of the sellers on my sh...I mean 'naughty seller' list have the top rated seller ranking. Its freakin crazy. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 08/23/2010 10:32 am AT = artificially toned. Doctored. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
jgnp15333 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 08/23/2010 10:35 am I believe he is referring to Artificially Toned Coins. And yes, it grinds my gears to know they are coin doctors but I suspect that many who buy the rainbow coins on ebay are very aware that what they are receiving is unnatural and just don't care.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 08/23/2010 3:40 pm Thank you much! I haven't found much to read on artificial toning. I would imagine it's like grading; if you get out there and observe, you'll get good at recognition if properly guided. Any tips for those of us that don't particularly don't care for toning and that may some day develop a taste? Oh, and how the heck can you tell on an auction offering?

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 08/24/2010 02:06 am Also what drives me nuts is when sellers write the price on the coin holder/slab and a bunch of comments to make themselves look like some kind of legitimate coin shop... Report this Post to the Staff
