Rainbow Toned coins

It is amazing what I have learned about these coins. I am still fairly new to this coin thing, but this is some cool stuff...

These rainbow tone quarters I am speaking of are from 1932 to 64, and the yellowish tone is on some of the newer coins. I have one coin that is a 1959 and it has a yellow tone.

Any toning will occur differently as an individual. Coins in the same album can turn out very differently, kinda like genetics.

earlier, I spoke regarding the 1932D quarter. If you do have one of these, safeguard it, they are considered the most rare in the series. One in top condition can cost almost 3 times as much by itself as the rest of the 1932-1998 quarters in similar condition would cost together.

 

I have a 1932D quarter but it has been pretty well circulated. It is in a Dansko book that says Proof-only issues, but I just think my family filled the books, with the proof and circulated coins.

What is a 1932D quarter worth in circulated condition?

 

The 2013 Red Book Prices are (and these I find are just starting points to go up or down depending on other considerations):

VF20 - $250
EF40 - $350
AU50 - $500

Currently, PCGS lists MS66 at $143,000, but of course, there is probably only one graded like that in existence at this time.

 

Wow, I guess they are pretty rare. I have both the D and S coins...but like I stated, have been circulated.

 

1932S

VF20 - $225
EF40 - $300
AU50 - $320

Currently, PCGS lists MS66 at $30,000. The 1932D is rare in very high grades.

 

Thanks for the info, I will be holding on to them......

 

Anytime. Aslo, the Red Book prices do not account for toning, that is one reason they are only a starting point.

I think it is great you are holding on to them. I know we can't wait to see pics when you get an opportunity.

 

I am holding on to most of the coins, and liquidating some of the double and triples I have.

This entire experience from the day I opened the boxes until now has been one of the best so far for me...

I will be posting pics soon.

 

You're killing me softly.

 

:devil:
Is there anything in particular you would like to see? I will pull out a book...

 

Whatever you think has the most attractive toning.

 

There is not just one with attractive toning, there is like 35 or 40...lemme check them out!!

 

Start from the beginning and perhaps ask suggestions on grade.:thumb:

 

From your description, I do not think that it is just interaction with the sulfides in the air, instead I would put most of the effect to the cardboard of the folder. This is the case when the toning is on the edges adjoining the cardboard. An overall tone is more related to airborne corrosive ( toning) chemicals.

Some of the toning is on the edges, on the dimes and SBA coin. The quarters are a different animal, they have different patterns...and look overall different

 

Prove it.

 

I didn't forget about you....I will be posting pics soon....

 

Here are some pictures of the Roosevelt Dimes...The pictures I took were the coins with the most tone, but all of the coins from 1946-1962 have some tone around the edges...

Enjoy!

 

There ya go! I am certain the colors are more vivid in hand as toning is hard to capture.

As long as the toning isn't black, then it looks like you have a couple nice ones. These wouldn't command high premiums though, unless they have superb eye appeal. Generally, rim toning, depending on how much there is, and what colors, won't command a premium.

Here is an example of color and eye appeal for toned coins that would bring some premiums.
