Reminds me of edynamicmaketing on eBay. An amazing amount of ruined coins.

Note: you will be using the Kodak Stain Remover S-10 formula at the bottom of page 349. (It's a 724 page book, so allow time for the pages to load.) - The one liter formula should be plenty - the chemicals can be had online for about $15 + a gallon of distilled water from the supermarket.

Load the pdf, go to page 351 (actual page 349), print page 351 (only) - you're welcome

VKB has suggested a weaker solution to begin - take safety precautions when mixing (use distilled water to avoid unwanted minerals) - adjust the concentration as desired, experiment with 'dunk time' on some tarnished junk silver/cull coins-- good luck

 

Thank you, kind sir. I do appreciate it!

 

I think that much is obvious.

 

That's how they ended up toning the same colors in the same way. The chemicals had to get in some way.

 

Bingo! Don’t you love it when a seller “outs” his own scam? If these were really collected over 40 years, there’d be no reason to not have the screws attached for the photo. These were probably doctored immediately before doing the listing.

 

I messaged the seller on eBay and thanked him for the laugh.

 

I just checked in on those folks. Their auctions are almost totally ignored. Maybe people are figuring them out.

 

And the auction is up to $504. A fool and his money ...

 

Buy first, then ask questions. You don't want anybody to steal that great deal out from under you.

 

I am the highest bidder. Please dont bid against me. I am soo the highest! Maann. Yea

 

Yuck.

 

At one point I was thinking, hey this guy has destroyed so many Brown Ike's, mine might be super valuable some day.

 

$545!!! How high will it go?!?!?

 

What is Buzz Lightyear's line, oh yea, "To the stars and beyond"

 

Where do people get money to bid on junk like this? $545 is an amount of money to be real picky with.

 

"To Infinity, and beyond!"

 

Probably a shill. Then he PM's all the legitimate bidders and offers to sell it to them for a slight discount from the closing bid. The blowtorched coins are only the first part of the scam.

 

I agree on the shill.
If, the 1st 4 coins were actual proofs, the value is high.
But I assume he is selling AT UNC Franklins. This seller does not accept returns,
but if the item is not as advertised (proofs) you should be able to cancel the sale.
And of course if they were actual proofs, he is damaging the value with AT.
