GTG: columbian toner half

You guys nailed it for the most part... it has either a weak strike or its an au58 that got bumped all the way up to ms64... i love the color of this coin,has semi prooflike fields and theres plenty of underlying luster hence the ms grade...

Somehow I managed to capture the color better w my cellphone....

 

Im tempted to crack this out and send to ngc

 

If it's already a 64, why crack it out. No chance of going any higher.

 

I just got lonely in here, y r u so sure it wont go higher?

 

No way that's a '65..........

 

I agree... i just wanted to hear an explanation of why

 

Lack of luster and 'eye appeal' (as per the photos)........Don't get me wrong. I love the coin and own many, but this example is nothing extraordinary.......

 

Do you btw own an ms65?or better? I would love to lay eyes on it if you do

 

No I don't. All of mine are 'raw' or '64 and less......

 

They are not too hard to find, but here is a nice 66.

 

As you were then soldier

 

Now THAT is a nice coin.... i learned my lesson on commems btw, ive owned plenty and sold out b4 the prices dropped even further... now is probably a good time to buy but i wont be... this is my one and only of the type and i wont be buying anymore

 

Does anyone know why the market is so up and down on these coins? It reminds me of gas prices....

 

It's happened in the past. Cycles........good time for me.

 

I understand that part.. ALL coins have undergone price adjustments... but some commems have had downswings very recently while every other series has remained strong or had an upswing, I AM ASKING WHY ARE COMMEMS SO VOLATILE?????? Especially compared to other series.... is it a popularity thing or???

 

Probably.........

 

Just this 65 * PL. It got the star for 3 reasons: attractive toning, cameo contrast, and superb mirrors which just barely miss being DMPL:

 

I noticed my lcs has an Au/Unc PL for $25,
Would this b a good price??if it IS indeed prooflike as described.... plan on checking it out tommorow
Beautiful coin btw! Im a huge fan of any classic prooflike such as this!

 

Hard to say if it would be a good buy without seeing the coin itself, but it is rather hard to go wrong for $25, especially when melt is 1/4 that.
