Horrible AT

I have seen a lot of AT jobs. Some have been amazing convincing at first, others not so.. Looking at this one makes me want to puke.

Uggg, thats just nasty.

 

that's sad it was a nice coin.

 

wow that thing has been baked hard.

 

Dang - somebody ruined a perfectly good copper coin. So sad.

 

Interesting how he says it's an 'end roll' coin...they usually have heavy toning on only one side....

 

ding ding ding

It'd be kind of hard I imagine for both sides to be at the end of the roll...

 

Forget that, it's not even MS-60 in the first place to begin with.

 

Yup, yup, yup.....

 

wow! thats not good

 

That's a shame that a nice copper has been ruined.

 

Why would anyone pay almost $60 for that poor and unfortunately abused large cent?

What was the process on this one, do you suspect? Merely setting the oven on speedbake? Was it rubbed in olive oil or lemon zest beforehand? Serious question.

 

sad way for a good coin to die.

 

I don't know how they did this, but when I was a kid I mixed up Easter egg die concoctions at Easter and this is close. End roll toning my [edited].

Speaking of AT coins. The best job of AT coins is done by toplinecoins on Ebay. This guy does something to his silver and apparently dabs the coins with a paper towel. The job looks convincing at first and if you look at his AT jobs you will notice that they are almost all identical. The dabbing leaves the centers white and applies a textile texture as well. Beautiful job, still fake.

Here is his stuff.

It looks like he's put his fingerprints on darn near every coin, too.

 

Ummmph. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
