Market acceptable toning?

If NGC cracks the coin before grading it, don't send it to NGC. It seems ironic that the company that for a very long time had the worst holders for being able to see the coin would have to crack that one out.

It looks like you have "ANACS toning" on that coin. The upper obverse is more heavily toned than the rest of the coin. Both PCGS and NGC are used to seeing this. It doesn't look bad, so both would probably find it market acceptable, but that also means they might not. As for the grade, XF45 looks about right from the pictures.

I would be honored to own it in it,s old soap bar slab. Most of those were very conservatively graded...much more desirable than a new ngc slab! Looks like a solid 45 to me. Toning is attractive... don,t fix it if it ain,t broke.

Sell it as is. Not very attractive and would probably be called AT if you tried to cross it in this day and age.

 

@BigTee44 , thanks for posting updated photos. I still believe it's properly graded. If you plan to add it to your collection, I'd keep it as is. Unless of course you want to add it to a PCGS/NGC registry set. Then your hand is forced.

Even if you want to sell it, I'd leave it in the old ANACS holder.

 

Let well enough alone

 

I would leave it as is. It is a nice coin, and definitely market acceptable. ANACS toned coins have perfectly decent resale.

 

That's an even-money shot to cross the fence to either of the big two, IMHO. If it crosses, they like their holder around it, and will let it play in their price guide; if it doesn't, they don't, and won't. That's all the meaning it has.

 

Too risky to cross I think. I'd leave it as is.

 

Grade looks right to me. Toning is not outlandish. Me, I'd leave it in the SWH and enjoy it as is. I don't think you'd have a hard time selling it, either.

 

Doesn't look MA to me. Blue is too vibrant and seems to float on the surface. Look near the rims where it is untoned right next to the blue toning. Like the toning chipped away or some liquid prevented toning right there. I'm leaning AT on this one.
