Post a Toned Coin

Just picked up this 1943-D in PCGS 67FB. I will likely try for an upgrade. It is as clean and well struck as any 68FB I have seen.

These 1970S toners are not uncommon. I don't collect Lincolns but had been looking to get at 1970S rainbow toner as a type example for quite some time. Unfortunately, I could not find any that were not outrageously expensive. At long last, I ended up purchasing this example (NGC PF67RB) for a very reasonable price. It's a neat coin and I'll probably hang onto it.

 

This is a great looking coin. I have yet to obtain an MS Liberty nickel.

 

Just got this one in the mail.....

 

Wow, nice one!

 

PCGS AU53

 

Great Bustie with unique toning. PCGS calls this (!) coin a 53 and the 1812 Bustie from the other thread a 45...? Sure... weak strike... early year... c'mon.

 

I thought it was a 55.

 

Me too! Some 53's look like dull XF coins compared to this gem.

 

I've had this Kennedy for quite a few years and when I first got it, the toning around the rims on both the obverse and reverse was very minimal. Over the last five years the toning on the obverse has accelerated quite a bit. I noticed on ebay there is only one other toned example of this year and MM. Are toned examples of the 1998 S SP Kennedy "rare", so to speak? Also I imagine the sale price on this completed auction is a rarity in itself? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wild-1998-s...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Here are my photos. It's late and I got a lousy shot of the reverse which I didn't include, but here is the obverse of my coin.

 

I love a toned coin, very, very nice.

 

I don't think the toning on yours will add value until it gets to an added eye appeal state like the one you linked. Toning alone, no matter the coin, is not an automatic prerequisite for premium. Heck, until it gets to the added eye appeal.state most may consider it impaired compared to a blast matte kennedy. Not a coin I'm too familiar with specifically though

 

Thanks. I know what you mean about eye appeal. Some toning does not look good at all.

 

Not saying yours doesn't look good for where it's at, just that it's not "there" yet

 

I bought an obvious AT coin like those just so I'd have an example to show people. It was cheap, but, hopefully it'll save someone an expensive lesson later on.

Your coin doesn't look AT to me.

 

A couple from the ANA;

 

The obverse of that 32D is amazing, rlm.

 

TY And it is actually greener than I managed to capture.
