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...

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.

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.

This also looks like a counterfeit slab! Why on earth would anyone
counterfeit a bottom feeder slab?

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.

Run away screaming.

Artificially toned. Better off melted.

Visit the RCCers favorite coins web page
http://mysite.verizon.net/jcarney44/coins/rccers.html

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..

The shade of red is far too bright for naturally toned coins. These
look like experiments gone bad.

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???

dmplrainbow is well-known to many of us in the group. 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.

Anyone bidding on this seller's "toned" coins should be locked up for their
own safety. Billy

looks like bad lighting with diagonal shadow at bottom of obverse, top of
reverse pictures.

Bad focus also.
