Strange Darkness on these Rainbow Morgans????
Is it my imagination or is something wrong with the Rainbows or Tones
on these? Here are a couple, but there are several more... http://cgi.ebay.com/1900-O-ACG-MS66-... QcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/1881-S-NTC-MS68-...cmd ZViewItem Does it seem like there is a shadow going all the way across the bottem of the slab, making the toneing seem darker and maybe more attractive to bidders??? Makes me sad as they might be ok without the crap trick, which would prevent me from buying from this guy at any price. Your friend in coins, Rick |

Strange Darkness on these Rainbow Morgans????
On 28 May 2006 07:24:09 -0700, "BigDog" is alleged to
have written: Is it my imagination or is something wrong with the Rainbows or Tones on these? Here are a couple, but there are several more... http://cgi.ebay.com/1900-O-ACG-MS66-... QcmdZViewItem Why would anyone counterfeit an ACG slab? In any case the coin looks like it spent some time in a frying pan. Clearly AT, likely going to turn real ugly in a few years. http://cgi.ebay.com/1881-S-NTC-MS68-...cmd ZViewItem This also looks like a counterfeit slab! Why on earth would anyone counterfeit a bottom feeder slab? Does it seem like there is a shadow going all the way across the bottem of the slab, making the toneing seem darker and maybe more attractive to bidders??? Well, the coins are obviously AT, in counterfeit holders. It would not be a shock to find that photos had been through Photoshop as well. Makes me sad as they might be ok without the crap trick, which would prevent me from buying from this guy at any price. Run away screaming.

Take a look at the other toned slabs,some from ncg and pcgs, and they
have the same shadow across the bottem of the slab. I am not smart enough to spot a fake slab, or artifical tone, but when shadow goes past the edges of the coin into the plastic of the slab makes me say hmmmmmmm.. Rick |

How about the pcgs and ngc slabs????? AT also??
What about the shadow which was my OP to begin with. I can't spot AT, or Fake slabs, but I think I can spot an attempted fraud to make a tone look darker in one corner?? Your thoughts on THIS??? Rick |

I suspect the pictures are bad ones that he has photoshopped to even look worse. I don't know if the shadow is hiding anything. His poor quality photos do that well enough without needing to shadow. I get the feeling that the shadow just came about by setting his coin somewhere and snapping a shot without worrying about lighting or focus. Since he photoshops his photos, he could make toning look darker without the aid of shadows. Usually he tries to make them look neon monster, which makes them look AT even when they aren't. I didn't pay any attention to who was selling the coins until you drew my attention back to them. I have never bought from this seller and, from what I've heard, I wouldn't begin anytime soon.

Your friend in coins, Rick looks like bad lighting with diagonal shadow at bottom of obverse, top of reverse pictures. Bad focus also. -- bz please pardon my infinite ignorance, the set-of-things-I-do-not-know is an infinite set. remove ch100-5 to avoid spam trap |
