Buying Indian cent Proofs

I want to get a nice Indian Cent head penny proof. My question is realistically how much is a reasonable offer on a nicely toned proof.

Let's say a normal RB ones are selling for $250-350 what would you expect to pay for a nice looking toner?

I found a coin that I absolutely love but don't want to overpay just because I like it.

The one I'm looking at is a 1882

Depends upon what it looks like.

 

I'd say a nice coin with nice color is at least a $700 coin if not more . It's better to pay more for a coin with great eye appeal as it will be an easy sell .

 

at what grade point?

 

You can find some nice proofs at 64 , though at 65 or higher the price justs keep going higher . Did you check out Rick Snows store ?
Or Charmys' store as she used to have a lot of nice toners and probably still does . Maybe PMing her so she could locate it for you .

 

For $250-350 you'd be looking at the Proof 62 and 63 for RB.

 

Full eagle rare coins has a large selection of these proofs, as does HJB Ltd.

 

That is extremely arbitrary and in many instances, you could be buried at that level. The grade, and most importantly eye appeal, are the dispositive factors. Without knowing what the coin looks like, no one will be able to properly advise you on price level.

 

I don't recall seeing that many monster toners on Rick's website in the past.

 

The listing has ended, but this is the coin I was questioning. Asking price was $575

I wouldn't pay any premium for the color on that piece.

 

I like the coin but feel the price is a bit much for a 63.

 

I bought these on eBay. The 64 rd looks more toned in hand then on the pic. Maybe I overpaid maybe I got a good deal but they were auction format so someone else was willing to pay in the same neighborhood that I was.

 

Really like the 79!

How accurate is the pcgs pictures?

 

Very . except for the 64 red I'm telling you in hand much more color then in pcgs pic.

 

Like the coins Vic love the color on thd 82 but a bit high for A pf 63 I don't think woth that kind of premium
