    I am not a collector of Toned coins, nor of ASEs, but this caught my eye today. I had to buy it when my wife said "it's so pretty". What do you think? I can't take a photo good enough to show the vividness of the true colors. Is it worth having slabbed? Grade? 99.9% sure this is album toned.

    I like it but I think having it graded is a waste of money.

    Pretty coin. I would guess the grade at 67. I agree it's album toning.

    Mine are all starting to tone in the album. Pretty but not for grading.

    Guess the coin stays raw, majority rules. What type of premium do you think this will carry? I've seen less attractive toned examples go for crazy money. This might buy me a few more coins that fit my collecting theme. Or make a nice gift for my son or daughter.
