Mike, I think you missed my point. I don't advocate giving up the fight. Rather be smarter and more patient. Be like the narcotics officer who...
Mike, With all due respect, you are overreacting. To say that "the toned coin market is built upon a foundation of deception" is a complete...
I can't see the photo as you need to be logged in as a paying member of NGC, but I highly doubt the ability to tone only one side of a slabbed...
First things first. This is not the same seller as the one in the TCCS thread. Richard (Greattoning) is a very good E-Bay seller of toned coins....
For those that actually read the threads, you will see that my comments were not very welcomed by Shane or anybody else for that matter. I...

Charmy, I did as much research on Lafayette Dollars as one can IMO. If you would like to read the thread I wrote about Lafayette Dollars before...
Charmy, I understand your point, but IMO most average collectors can't grade very well at all. It would be nice if everyone could learn how to...
Are they circulated, uncirculated?
You definitely got that right. I struggle with that every time I buy a coin.
I agree with Leadfoot on this one. Those looking for bargains will quickly find themselves in trouble. Coins that sell at bargain prices sell...
This is my leprechaun coin. [IMG] :whistle:
Gold coins will tone. I make no claims as to the originality of the toning on this piece. [IMG] :smile
I understand your point, but to call an MS65 DuVall 3-D Lafayette Dollar trash or compare it to a Liberian Elvis thingy is just a little harsh,...
The fact that someone named their store the coin collecting shop might be funnier than his item description.
Are you serious? I am sending you a PM!
