The Monster Toned Coin Game Thread

3.8

I like the colors and coverage on the reverse, but I don't like the obverse grade and if a PCGS Truview can't make the coin look lustrous, then the luster is probably muted somewhat. Those factors combine to keep it out of the fours IMO.

4.7. Nice reverse. I would grade even higher if it had obverse toning like that. Luster is a slight holdback as well. Overall, I like it.

 

The reverse alone is a 5 - extremely attractive and vibrant. The chattered up obverse is a 3. I'd go overall around a 3.7 overall because obverse tends to weight a little bit more.

 

Agree with the comments, but will go 4.8

 

4

 

Pretty reverse but I prefer obverse toners 4.4

 

I was thinking it was higher. I know it's reverse toning but it's got some real nice colors and in the video I saw the reverse still seemed very lustrous. I was at a 5.

 

I'm not going to be biased because it's a reverse that's toned instead of an obverse. I'll give it a solid 5. Now if one could pair it with a monster obverse it would be special.

Floor is open...

 

1881s PCGS MS 65

 

Interesting one to opine on.
I'll go 3.9. Not crazy about the blotchiness.

 

That looks like a john strategies (from eBay) photo. He's another of the sellers that juices photos.
Given that, I would go 3.8
(based on what I think the coin looks like)

 

It isn’t one of his.

 

Isn't this it?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1881-S-PCG...113683?hash=item48dc25dad3:g:Sa0AAOSwvGxeaOK~

 

Um...hmmm. Not a fan. Is that a scratch in front of Liberty’s face? If so how did that coin straight grade?

I’m a 2.7 - the toning is distracting from the design. I prefer toning that is complementary to the design.

I think this is one of those love/hate kind of toned coins.

 

That’s definitely the same coin. And, the coin on eBay is graded MS64 not MS65.

 

Ok, I guess it is the same coin. I posted it from a different site. In that case I will consider it possibly juiced, as he does juice his photos, sometimes. So, 3.5 with an asterisk.

 

I'll give it a 2.9.

 

Interesting coin I actually like it. If not juiced 4.9
