[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 911490, member: 15309"]The coin itself does not scream AT but there are a whole bunch of red flags with this auction that should tell you not to buy it. [LIST] [*]The coin is a common inexpensive silver coin with dramatic rainbow toning. [*]The photo appears enhanced and over saturated [*]The seller describes the coin as a proof in uncirculated condition. Proofs are usually assumed to be uncirculated and those with wear are referred to as impaired proofs. This flag should make you want to find out more about the seller. [*]The sellers other items are all uncertified common date silver coins with dramatic rainbow toning [*]The sellers feedback while good shows every transaction as private. [/LIST] This E-Bay seller is notorious for selling AT coins. The problem is that his creations are getting much better and much more difficult to automatically classify as AT. My advice is to only buy rainbow toned coins graded by either PCGS or NGC until you have the experience and knowledge to answer these types of questions without assistance. And even then, don't pay huge premiums for raw rainbow toned coins.[/QUOTE]
