What Would You Pay (Naturally Toned 1961 Gem Proof Dime)?

This dime came from a proof set that I purchased. It along, along with the quarter, were beautifully toned around the edges with a firey, orange color. On the dime, the only part of Roosevelt it covered was his hair, so it always looked cool to me.

I know people are willing to pay different amounts for toned coins though.

Thoughts?

I am a toned coin collector. However, this particular toning isn't a beauty, to me at least. I wouldn;t add any value to the coin because of that toning. I would pay $7 for that coin.

 

Nice disme!

 

Thanks for that reply! I guess I should have mentioned that toned coin collector's replies would be most appreciated

 

And I should have mentioned, the coin is very nice! When it comes to Roosevelt toners, I personally look for a much more colorful toning though. For example,something along these lines:

 

I collect primarily Morgan toners, but the toning on your dime is not that which would encourage someone to pay a premium for it.

Taylor, interesting use of old English. Maybe you should be living back in 1792 in the Colonies.

close, only off by 154 to 165 years.

 

Lol...

 

These are going for $3-$4 on eBay toned or not.

 

That's not Old English. "Obsolete", maybe.

 

Hm...how come my grampa does not talk like that then..heis old. he just gose beeeep...yep..you knowwhat I mean..

 

In the Colonies? In 1792, the USA was officially an independent country

 

Just bought a proof Franlkin and Kennedy half dollar with the exact tonning. Since its on a Franklin half, would it be worth more?

 

No, if it is at the same level as this dime.... The toning must be rather extravagant or very attractive for a buyer to pay a premium.... Of course a picture could'nt hurt
