More Suspect Manual Coin Toning

I learned my lesson about assuming anyting, so i found yet another person offering just toned coins on ebay, and I asked if they were manually toning them. They say they inherited them from their grandfather. I just have a hard time when every single one is toned, no matter what year or denomination, mostly all new; https://www.ebay.com/sch/beachegrl1...tfcAAOSwxCVgT6A7&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

What say you?

Then she says she is getting them graded & just got this back;

 

I was under the impression it took years to get a round tone from those cardboard books. A 2006 nickel? Hmmmm

 

That's artificial with a capital A.

 

Looks like AT to me, for sure.

 

I have nickels that are toning a nice blue from this era in the album.

 

The coins you are showing certainly appear to me to be AT.

 

Yeah, she inherited them from her grandfather who served with Washington at Valley Forge.

 

Those are sure pretty but I think every one of them is nothing but AT.

 

Agreed, Those are just a little too crazy to be believed as natural toning

 

I been putting coins in Whitman’s since the 1960’s.... Oh yeah they do tone. Never had one turn into a neon blacklight before. Scuzzy black, yes. Never neon.

 

Its blasphemous to do this to coins
here's a funny ebay toner I found. 2020 D, straight out of pappys collection

Depends on the coin. I’ve had coins really colorfully tone in a couple days just sitting on a desk while the coin next to it was unchanged. Some coins just seem to tone while others never really do for whatever reason.

 

She is well known for selling blatant AT coins.

 

Look I have 2006S proof sets, the coins don't look like that, nowhere near that for toning, it's 15 years old and toned up the same as the 52 year old quarter.

The 1958D nickel in the slab looks legit though not gonna lie. but that's what artificial toning people will do, show you a legit one that's been graded to rest your mind, and sell you the oven baked coins.

Honestly, toning in general doesn't look like any of those pictures, the seller is enhancing the colors or something in the pictures to make the toning "pop"unnaturally in the pics. That's not on accident AT ALL. the colors will be far more muted to the eye on any of them.

blurry slab picture as proof, but crystal clear pictures of the coins they are selling. I'd stay away from it. it's not being honest in general if nothing else.

 

I would bet dollars to donuts that they are ALL A T
Stay Safe

 

One of games scammers play on the Internet is to claim that "They inherited these coins from their grandpa.” In some cases, their grandpa would have had to have been from China or been ripped off continuously with counterfeits before they died.

Take the "came from an estate" claim with a grain of salt.

 

This reminds me, Easter is right around the corner. I'll be coloring some eggs soon....

 

Even if she may have inherited them, apparently she didn’t say if it was her or her “grandfather” that was/is the chemist.
