The Toning Premium Thread Part 2

I would have given you $115 for that one in a heartbeat. I think the Buffalo comes out tops among toners.

It's still hot, you just have to have the right colors or a vibrant coin. That Morgan was dominated by one color and was somewhat dull.

@Beefer518 you're up...

 

I needed that, I've been falling behind.

I'll see if I have anything decent to post.

 

Isn't not as hot as obverse only. It's a lot like grading, if one side is going to be clearly superior it does better if that side is the obverse

 

Alright, I got one.

1925-S California Jubilee Commemorative
Bought it raw.
A GTG ranged from AU58 to MS64, so take your pick on a grade.
AU58 is $167 (numismedia), $175 (PCGS), $170 (NGC)
MS64 is $344/$300/$400

What did I pay for it?

 

$225

...nice peripheral toning on a popular design (one of my favorite commems)...great coin!

 

$350

$245.00 It's a nice looking Half Dollar.

I did not know about the gold toning being common on Buffalo's. No one tells me anything. I factored in the toning on this one.

I would have given $120 and I don't collect Buffalo's.

 

$175

 

I guess I can just skip eBay next time. LOL.

Let's just say that finding a 1938-D gold toned Buffalo is almost like finding Red Lincoln Cent's from 1958. They are common like the Red Lincoln's and just like the Lincoln's are more in demand.
