Worst AT Job Ever?

[MunkyMan95]

Saw this in an eBay auction. Coin almost looks plastic. Link

[MunkyMan95]

This one by the same seller. Steer clear!

 

[Excaliber]

That's rediculious!

[WinstonWare]

Man those coins are ugly. They look cleaned and then painted with shoe polish. It's a shame to see coins destoyed this way.

[CoinMike-migration]

Those are some ugly looking morgans.

First destroying a coin in such a manner is just plain wrong and then try to push this junk on Ebay is criminal as far as I’m concerned.

 

It seems to me that some folks need a good whack with a shovel up along side their heads.

I started giggling the instant the picture of this coin showed up. How outrageously, ridiculously funny!

 

If his shipping charge wasn't so idiotic, I'd buy one just for a good laugh!

strange thing is, that guy has positive 366 feedback over the past 12 months with no negative or neutral (in the past 12 months)

 

So does that mean everyone that buys from him is a fool?

 

Or is it that people like you guys look at coins like this and run away screaming meaning only people who don't know any better buy from him, hence his good feedback?

I always like brunettes.

When I first looked at those pictures I started laughing, but then I thought what a shame it is to ruin a once good coin.

[MunkyMan95]

I agree that these are mediocre toning jobs, but also runied no doubt nice coins. Such a shame.

I would think that statement about sums it up.

A quick dip, followed by some taco bell napkins should do the trick.

Since I would NEVER buy such a coins and neither would most knowledgable collectors they aren't in the position to give negative feedback, would they?

 

The PROBLEM is that people don't seem to want to educate themselves. However, if people who bought the coin like it then why should they give a negative feedback? They are satisfied with transaction so who's to say it was a bad transaction? IMO, it really isn't anyone else's business other than the two parties. If the buyer wants to get educated he is free to come into this forum and ask questions.

OK, I'm still newbie and I am trying to learn all this acronyms...

 

AT= Artificial Toning?

NT= Natural Toning?

[MunkyMan95]

AT = Artificial Toning

NT = Natural Toning

 

Correct!

[WaxonWaxov]

AT = Artificial Toning

NT = Natural Toning

 

Correct!

 

Yea for me!

[Morgannut]

I don't agree that coin is AT. It looks like a botched artificial frosting job, where halfway though the guy realized he'd mixed up his chemicals!! So he dumped the POS for bullion (not wanting to be caught) but some insufficiently_thoughtful_person bought it to sell on the ever respectable Ebay--

[MunkyMan95]

Ok, this guy needs to put his magic markers up, and stop ruining these coins!!!

 

 

[WinstonWare]

Ugh! That one is equally terrible. Even if a buyer was somehow confused by one of the AT jobs you would think that they could look at the rest of his coins and note the guilt by association. This is the same [embarrassing lack of self control] AT job on all the coins.
