<p>[QUOTE="Kryptonitecomic, post: 979753, member: 26784"]1000% AT and I could tell who the seller was simply by looking at the images. If you go to say the PCGS forum and do a search for Unique & toned I am sure you will read a lot of bad information on this coin doctor. In situations where one can not accurately judge NT vs AT I always recomend buyer stick with certified examples in PCGS or NGC holder and that seriously lessons the chances you going to get a bad coin...sure it can still happen but at least experts have looked the coin over and determined that it is at least market acceptable. Other things you can do to protect yourself is reach out to experience toned coin specialist like myself, or Lehigh and ask for opinions....posting a coin here to have other folks who may be just as green as yourself in detecting AT can get you in a lot of trouble and waste $$$. Finally...where there is smoke their is fire so before bidding, do a search of the sellers current and completed items on Ebay and you will see the tell tale signs of a doctor at work.....crazy colors, all coins are raw....lots of coins that resemble each other? No toned coin seller in their right mind is going to sell genuine rainbow toned beauties raw on Ebay for pennies on the dollar. If the coin you bought were legit and say in a PCGS 64 holder I could easily sell it for $150 to $200 and no dealer is going to leave money like that on the table for $50 bucks. This seller has another handle on Ebay something like cwboy etc......</p><p><br /></p><p>If you search for rainbow in the coin section and look at most of the raw AT garbage you will see this sellers multiple handles very clearly. I am sorry you got burned on this coin but it's a small price to pay for real coin education.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
