yikes, I've never seen g-4 barbers tone like that, looks like AT to me.

 

What a load of bull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

all the toning seems to have the same pattern. most of the toning is around the rim

 

It's definitely AT.

 

Definitely artificial. No question. Not even "good" artificial toning. This stuff is worth no more than melt value.

 

That stuff is all AT garbage. At least most of the coins don't seem to be getting much interest.

 

what a shame that they trashed all those coins.

 

junk silver is lol

 

These have all been doctored in the same manner, it shows in the consistent toning patterns .. Buyer beware....

 

The sad part is that if the seller had only posted one or two pieces he may have gotten away with it-- also if he had used higher grades.

 

How do they do this? Heat? Is there a big market for naturally toned coins?

 

It can be done in a number of ways.. oven baked is one.

And, yes, there is a nice market for premium naturally toned coins-- that are attractive.

 

So do you think E-bay would do anything if they were made aware?

 

sure, they would probably ban you-- unless you were a power seller.

Just kidding-- unless there is clear (and I do mean CLEAR) evidence of fraud they do nothing.

It is hard enough to get them to pull 1804 silver dollars -- forget about them doing anything about this!

 

You can say that again!!

 

Why would ebay care? They don't care how coins were toned.

 

It looks like baked-on barbecue sauce to me.
