Ms70

 

seller wants 975.00. how much pemium do you give this coin

 

You think that coin grades MS70?

 

heres reverse

 

He is referring to the product of that name.

Op is this a proof? I have seen a few proofs like that.

 

yeah, NGC PR65 BN

 

I don't think it's AT... When i see this coin, i remember the one lincoln "fire and ice" coin a member owned on here.

I've picked a blue bogger........

 

Well if its a proof, my vote is it could be natural. 19th century copper proofs CAN tone this color. There are written accounts of blue proofs being sold in the 50's.

Yes, MS70 is responsible for most blue lincolns, but my vote is that this is NT of a proof.

 

Did it taste like BlueBerries?

 

Never eat blue boggers. Always eat blueberries.......

 

Thanks for your help

 

Silver proofs can tone that colour also, I own an 1880 half that I bought from our own LostDutchman, aka Matt, more than a few years ago that is in a PCGS holder and is a rosy blue hue. It bucks the norm for me, usually I like my ladies blast white without blush etc - but this one was just so lovely I couldn't live without her.

 

Yep. MS70 has a tendency to turn nice lightly toned copper coins blue.

 

NGC doesnt determine those to be AT

 

Thing abouts proofs, though, is in hand they can look completely different than photos. I mean way more than business strikes especially concerning toning. I would NEVER buy a toned proof with pretty color from a photo unless i had an absolute right to return it at no cost to me. I have seen just absolutely gorgeous proofs in photos look blah in hand.
