:crying: This poor thing looks like a cartoon. Why would somebody do this to such a great and valuable coin? Knowing eBay this guy will get a premium for it. The truth is, the more a behavior is rewarded, the more it will continue. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/1936-Long-Islan...em&pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item20b1c0a314
Well he must be a coin doctor, all of his coins are AT'd, except for one, an 1888-S MS64 PCGS, that is blast white...and a better date...guess he didn't want to take the chance of ruining a key. http://shop.ebay.com/cwbyup1051/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340 This guy has bids on his coins too, it is sad. His photos are juiced, on top of AT coin doctoring.
The ridiculous part is that this seller has perfect feedback. Are there really that many BIDIOTS on eBay? Chris
You have to ask yourself, are there that many idiots in the world? And then assume that many of the idiots in the world are also on ebay. A very large percentage of the world is an idiot. Always remember that.
I would think "nasty" is a compliment. This guy is well known to sell AT coins and I even had it with him before. He's nothing but a loser who scams people and destroys coins. The list just goes on and on guys. Learn and stay away from those. mel-ko baobaocoins168 cwbyup1051 unique_n_toned coinskingdom puppylovesusan nvs-coins haleyschevy usanumismaticcoins 75scorpion714 koinkrazee (Looks like mel-ko) great-auction-7 msdale13a
I am not condoning the practice of artificially toning coins but I really think you guys are overreacting to this specific coin. I would much rather own this AT monstrosity than an untoned AU Long Island. Every circulated Long Island is dreck. None them are rare or valuable and none of them will ever be valuable. So this guy stumbled upon one, doctored it up good, and sold it on E-bay to unsuspecting fools. He is not trying to pass the coin off as NT and some people might like AT coins like this. If I thought is looked anything like the photos which are just as juiced as the coin, I wouldn't mind having it. I would have bid $30 on this thing. Okay, flame away!
Sorry LeHigh but we have to part way's on this one. I dont want it just like I would not like a 09 Lincoln that was common AU that someone "doctored" by adding a S and a VDB. It's just not for me and although I agree that there are some AT coins that can and are market acceptible this is NOT one of them. PASS for me.
The reason why I would want the coin is because it is not market acceptable. Think of it this way. There are NT, AT, and QT (questionably toned) coins out there. The absolutely NT coins are pretty easy to identify. Likewise the absolutely AT coins are pretty easy to identify. This is one of those coins. Anybody who is fooled by this coin should fall under the category of caveat emptor because the coin is so plainly AT that the seller is doing nothing to hide it. He has no intentions of passing the coin of as market acceptable. This in unlike most doctors who try to get there AT creations slabbed as market acceptable. This guy is just creating freaky wild AT coins. I think this one is sorta cool but don't want to pay very much money for it. It is a problem coin and I would pay wholesale/2. My point is that I find nothing wrong with an AT coin as long as it is not pretending to be something other than an AT coin. This coin is practically screaming, "look at me, I'm AT".
