The Toning Premium Thread Part 2

$100
....I'll update standings after this round.

Edit:
This was the Toned Rouble I used to own. I haven't seen a ton of nicely toned Russian coins, so they can draw a nice premium when offered. I will note that auctions aren't always the best way to sell toned foreign coins as less people might be looking compared to toned US.

Not to derail the contest, but, going back to pretty SLQs, I really, really wanted this one for my type set a while back, but didn't have the cash to spare at the moment. Apologies in advance for the not so great photos/lighting and being too lazy to cut out the coin.

 

Look nice @Paul M.
Did you ever gather the funds to pick it up?

 

Sadly, no. I did, however, manage to console myself with another wildly toned MS65 FH 1917 T1. It may make an appearance here if I get another chance or the floor opens up, so I won't discuss what I paid for it just yet.

 

When I was collecting toned geM SLQ’s I found that toning rarely drove a significant premium. The 1917 T1 in MS66FH is worth over $1K without toning, and I wouldn’t expect to pay more than a few hundred for attractive toning like that coin has. Do you remember what the seller’s price was for that coin?

 

I do, but I wonder if it might not be more interesting to have people guess first. I don't want to derail the thread though... @EyeAppealingCoins, @ddddd, are we going ahead with another coin? If not, I can just leave this one up.

 

My guess is $1350

 

Let's save that for later until we see whether @EyeAppealingCoins is going to post one.

 

$1400 on the 66 fh

 

I like guessing more than posting new examples to be honest (I'm afraid I'll forget to update the thread). Go for it!

 

@Paul M. it looks like we'll go with the 1917 that you posted (which is perfectly cool with me).

I'm guessing the price might have been on the higher end...
$2,000

 

$1600. That coin has some serious mojo!

 

$1750. It's a beauty

 

$1800 I was going to guess $750 but I was beat to it. Pretty coin
