1992 Silver Eagles - Toned

I get they have no numismatic value to them...
but does toning increase value at all? From what i've read on here its split with people.
Would toning on a 1992 Silver eagle increase its value?

im not sure if it would increase the value, as i have never done much with silver eagle. now that being said, DANG that coin is pretty. To me i would glady pay more for that one over a normal silver eagle.

 

For some people it doesnt matter, but for me yes. I think it increases value and that sure is a nice coin you got there!

 

put it on ebay an see what you get???

 

or sell it to someone on here?

 

In the world of toning, color is key. A quick search on ebay shows premiums being paid for rainbow toning on average for about $100. More subdued toning..mid $50's and some none at all. Toning is all subjective and the like the trophy wife, beauty is key.

 

I actually have 6 that look like that. Got them all for $160. They have been in cardboard holders since 1992!

 

There's another one of the coins.

 

Beautiful coin. Someone will surely pay more for it.

 

Thanks. I've resealed the cardboard holders.
I'm going to hold onto them for a while.
Maybe the cardboard played a role in the toning?

 

I think it's AT.

 

I had one that wasn't quite fully blue as your mine was a cresent tone front only and a 1990. The cause was the coin was in a nice velor box (black with a silver eagle emblem on the lower right, no airtite or protection with the paper COA from the mint on top of the coin and then put inside a cardboard sleeve. I have a feeling yours weren't originally in rolls they were from these poorly designed boxes. Too much air and humidity seeped in all over with this type of packaging plus the paper COA laying right on the coin and thus the toning. I always wondered if it would ever be considered environmental damage by NGC or PCGS because it was caused by the humidity? No premium for the toning either, bullion price is way too high now a days. My advice find a collector of toned coins and hope for the best as it's a subjective as art. Most collectors I run across can only agree with premiums on rainbow toned coins any series, gold toned jefferson nickels (as long as the tone is original) and gold toned morgans and even then they have to be beautiful everything else is up for debate.

 

I guess you just answered your own question.:smile

 

I gotta agree with Merc. They will most likely not grade.

 

I wouldn't send them to get graded anyway.
What do you mean by AT?

 

Amateur Toned.

 

I did some reading and saw that artificial toning yield darker colors.
Also, the gentleman who sold me the coins is not a collector, this was all that has been in his possession coin wise and since they came from the mint.
I'd have to agree with one of the earlier comments about lack of air tight seal.
