Two of my better toned Jeffersons. I bought both of these raw off ebay for around $10 each. The top one graded PR65, the bottom one PR67.

What does everyone think?
Care to guess a grade as well?

 

ME? I like it, but then there is a reason for that. I think it would go 64, but woodies often get dinged.

Micro "S" by the way!

 

I'm guessing high-end AU. There seems to be wear on the tips of the head feathers, obverse hair details behind the neck, and in the bow on the reverse...either that, or it was a weak strike. Nice coin either way!

 

I'll guess 64-65. Nice dime.

 

Jello, that's impressive!

What's its grade? Did it receive the Full Head designation?

 

Is this one of those Black Beauties ? Love it .

 

Very nice micro S Rev ! I'll guess 66 ?

 

I don't know a grade persay as it is raw. I guess 65/66 would suit me fine. I don't think the center set of bands make it for FSB.

 

Holy cow! That coin is dripping luster! What did it grade?

Your picture's not showing but I absolutely love that '61 lincoln proof!

 

are toned coins worth more

 

For the most part, yes, they are.

In all honesty though, the value for a toned coin is subjective. It all depends on the type of toning and on what type of coin it is.

Toning is a toughie though, trying to figure out what types of toning demand higher premiums than others and distinguishing artificial toning from natural toning can take a while to get the hang of.

Here are two threads that might steer you in the right direction to some extent. I'm trying to find another thread that covers artificial toning versus natural toning but I'm having a hard time finding it. (If anybody else can find it or has something similar to add, feel free to do so)

I did not have it graded I got in a trade its a MS-64.but I think is a Full head.I don't if the person I got it from paid for details @Pcgs they will not add FH unless you pay for Details.

 

Flea-Market buy for $20.... nothing done to juice the photos but in hand this baby has some real color, unfortunately its just hard to capture.
