What A Travesty!!!

[relicsncoins]

It's too bad this clown is taking what appear to be decent uncirculated Indians with nice luster and ruining them with about the most rediculous AT job ever. All of his Indians look almost identical to this. It appears that he has hit them with a blow torch or something.

 

Just Sickening!!!

[Brotherman]

Just look at the bids he is getting and you'll see why he is ruining

those coins. Just makes you sick.

Holy crud, who are these insufficiently_thoughtful_persons bidding on these things? Decently AT'd Morgans don't bring near that kind of money.

 

Also, you can bet this seller is only "ruining" crummy MS Indian cents -- coins that were probably spotted and then dipped -- and then AT'd.

[relicsncoins]

Yeah, probably but if you are going to dip them then at least put them in a book for a couple of years and let them gain some natural toning, at least they might be market acceptable.

DAM! Those WERE some really nice indians before he burnt em!

[drwstr123]

He covers himself by describing them as ," Sharp." I guess he can stand by that.

[rexcat]

Needs to change his name to “just senseless”!

 

I looked though his other listings and saw he fried an 1864 IHC,

 

what he’s doing should be a crime.

[Bruceswar]

The coins can still be dipped, while that may wreck the originality, which has already bveen done. The coin is a not a total loss.

I've bought a couple of coins from this seller, and both of them were doctored. I've bought no more since.

Some people actually take fairly nice looking coins and do the same thing. They are even being rewarded with very nice grades from NGC and PCGS.

[WaxonWaxov]

I just sent him a "ask seller question' on another of his burnt coins. The question I asked was..

 

Do you use a blow torch, bic, or a Zippo to put all that artificial toning on these coins?

Any response? I guess he may not want to give away trade secrets.
