Do These Rainbows Carry A Premium??

They're currently in a 20th century coin plaque, I've recently removed the front of the plaque to get to the coins. They do appear to be polished, was this normal?

Most toned coins bring a premium, even if cleaned. That toned SLQ will bring a premium for sure.

 

THAT 1964 KENNEDY THOUGH <3

 

The Kennedy Half will bring a huge premium. As for the Walker & SLQ, I would not ever pay any money for coins that look like that. They are circulated, don't have original surfaces, are questionably toned, and are ugly IMO.

 

Heres some more

 

If I were you, I think I would sell the set AS IS. Since most of them have toned nicely, the whole set may bring a premium.

Try that before breaking the set up.

 

I cut the plastic covering off the front, think I should 2x2 all of them and do it that way?

Surprised it didnt get crushed in the mail, usps beat the heck of of the box.

 

the franklin and kennedy have potential. Need better pics. I have seen a bunch of those sets. They take circulated coins, clean them, and put them in a framed picture. They produce nice toning but the coins are cleaned

 

I have a light box coming in the mail hopefully this week, my random lighting isnt cutting it.

 

Alright thats enough for picture time

 

You should send that Peace Dollar in for grading! If it gets a numerical grade and not "questionable color", then peace fanatics will die for it.

 

Would def get "polished" across the slab

 

I see a fingerprint on the back of the Franklin

 

Folks, these coins are polished. That is why they have taken on these colors. This is quite common for these framed sets.

 

Someone said something about soaking them in some solution to tell the difference between actually toning and not the chemical change due to the polishing.. From my understanding "toning" occurs within the coin etc.

 

I'm not debating they have color. However, these sets typically have all the coins polished prior to sale and many of those coins have that characteristic look. If so, then they aren't worth much at all and you may throw away lots of good money learning this lesson.

 

I paid melt, so dont worry about me learning a lesson

 

The lesson I meant was with respect to possibly paying submission fees to PCGS and/or NGC only to have the coins return in details/genuine holders.

 

Is there a barber half in there?

 

I wish there was, I just started collecting AG/G for my Dansco.
