    I can pretty much guarantee the pictures aren't doctored. I've bought plenty from GC and their photos have never been doctored. The photos tend to be a solid representation of the coin.

    Gotcha! Still, the obverse and untoned reverse seem very bright.

    $250. If someone looks it up then where's the fun of guessing?

    We go by the honor system here.
    So hopefully people won't look it up before guessing. :)

    @thomas mozzillo wins by being closest to the $293.62 final price.
    This same coin sold for $174.90 in 2014 (also at GC). I valued it closer to $200 this time around (which ended up being almost $100 short of the high bid).

    It's actually quite tame. The following (some of which I've posted here before) were moon money.

    This seems like a fun game! Excited to get in on this!

    Well, the first two have an entirely different level of toning, justifying a higher price. I feel bad for the person who bought that last 1884-O.

    Agreed. Reverse toner and baggy. Not a big premium to me

    I agree both have nicer color. The first one is an obverse toner, but over $1k still seems high. The second is a reverse toner; so the price being near $1k on a 62 seems exorbitant. The third, while selling for less than the first, is arguably the weakest and again went too high in my view.

    Since I was closest to the sale price it was my turn to post a coin. Since I don't have any toned coins, anyone is entitled to post a coin. If there's no coin posted yet, you may post the next coin. This is as per the rules of this thread. :)
