Think of it this way.
There are no price guides for toned coins. Some toned coins will fetch more than others, common dates could fetch more than keys, etc. It depends on how drastic the toning is, what the colors are, if it is market acceptable, etc.
The Red Book shouldn't be used to determine any value of coins at all, if you are looking for a real estimate, eBay's completed listings, Heritage Auction Archives, PCGS, Numismedia and Grey Sheet are the price guides that should be used. Use as many as possible.

For circulated toned coins, the values aren't as great as they would be if the coin was a BU example.
A toned 1880-S Morgan that is EF versus a toned 1880-S Morgan that is BU will fetch far less money. People want the most for their dollar, and that means they want eye appeal. Uncirculated and a lot of AU pieces that are toned will fetch more money, depending on, what I said before, how the coins are toned, colors, how drastically toned they are, vibrance, etc.

Your coin is worth a few bucks over melt value. It is well circulated, and isn't a key date. BEST case scenario, someone pays $10 for the coin on eBay.

I'll take $10 for it np if anyone were to send me a good offer for it I would prolly part with it I paid $3 and would go for $5 + a buck for shipping :hail:

I got some "junk" silver yeaturday from a coin shop up in oregon while I am visiting a friend and here's some of what I got...

the 1st pic is a 1939 quarter that has a cresent of cyan-blue then yellowish then reddish on the outer edge of the coin on the left side from top to bottom.

The 1956 D quarter is kinda awkward the rim is flat and the quarter seems to be a bit smaller in diameter then a normal silver quarter.
also on the reverse of the quarter it is toned a goldish-orange color and the obverse is silver white.

so tell me how you think I did

You do realize this thread is 6 years old, right?

Looks like a typical catch from a junk silver box. The smoothed quarter could have otherwise spent some time in a clothes dryer or tumbler, if not from the initial stages of a spooning operation.

Yep! Report the OP to the mods and see if they will do anything about improper solicitation.

I agree, but do you really think some of these young whippersnappers will know the old meaning of spooning?

Perhaps the '56-D was one that someone started to 'spoon' (no, not spoon WITH...lol)......early stage of creating a ring from a silver coin. That's my guess....and I'm stickin' with it (unless I'm wrong, which has been known to happen once or twice.. )!!!
