The Toning Premium Thread Part 2

If you're guessing on the 3c piece, that one was already revealed as $353

Edit: if you meant the 1921 Morgan from the first page, that one sold for $1,677.50 and is now part of the Aurora Borealis Collection (top toned Morgan collection).

Okay... I'll throw one in to help keep the thread active. This time, instead of providing pics, I'll "describe" the toning colors and patterns for you. Okay, here we go....










Lol.
Maybe not.

Here we have a 1986 PCGS MS68 ASE. First year of issue.
Sold this year. PCGS guide price is $35.00
What was the actual sale price ???


(Not my coin)

I will post the answer sometime tomorrow afternoon (Sun) if I can remember anyway.

 

$100

Personally I find the toning on this coin questionable but I’m sure somebody paid up for it.

 

$325
(and maybe even higher).
I agree with @Lehigh96 that it's QC. That doesn't seem to matter a ton though with toned Silver Eagles as of the past few years. As long as the slab has a straight grade, the prices can get crazy.

 

$60.00 IMO gassed after it was slabbed.

 

@Mainebill , @ddoomm1 , @Paddy54 , @Duke Kavanaugh, or anyone else.... care to participate ???

 

Yeah, I was looking for seated, bust, or even trade dollars, when a couple monstrosities like this popped up. I went with one of them knowing full well it was at minimum, QC, if not blatant AT as is evident from the comments thus far.
Man, there are more heavily toned SAEs than the other 3 types combined, and they are at least a century older. The new generation of collectors either don't know, or don't care about how the toning happened, as long as the description reads L@@K, MONSTER TONED, MS+++++++++ I guess.
(I know that blast white used to be what was popular, and why many older coins have been dipped at some point.)

 

$275.

 

$395

 

$450 but that's not where near what I would pay lol

 

@ddddd should I wait another day or so ???

 

Let's go ahead and extend it to give more people a chance to guess.

 

No problem.

 

The ninja that turns off notifications has struck again!

$57.95

 

I agree this is AT all the way and should have sold for melt, but I'm guessing $200... because the label says MS68.

 

Ok guys, this AT crap has had like 3 days, can we please put this thing out of its misery already?

 

lol

 

@Johndoe2000$ you can call it when you see this alert

 

Before it's revealed I'd like another shot. $2,000.

 

Ummm, that's "alleged" AT Crap.
This thread was dormant for awhile, perhaps this eyesore will help motivate efforts to post more desirable coins here, or any at all.
