The Monster Toned Coin Game Thread

I like it as a 5.8

I wonder why it wasn't sent in to be graded by the prior owner (worth it even if a lower grade). Is there any sign of an old cleaning @jtlee321 ?

6.0 on the Buffalo.

 

I don't see any. He did have a '25 that looked very nice, but not quite as nice as this one that did appear to have an old cleaning. My dealer pulled these out of an album that the original owner sold. There were some other nice looking coins that came from it.

This particular Buffalo looks like it would grade AU-58 if sent in. It has just a touch of wear in the usual places. Now it's always possible it could get market graded as a lower a MS, but for me, I don't care. It's currently sitting with several dozen other coins that I "need to send in for grading". My problems is I like to buy coins and not opinions and plastic for my raw purchases. Someday I might feel like paying for an opinion and plastic, right now I settle for an opinion on the coin in plastic already with CAC.

 

Ok, run this one at the same time. Bought a lot of 10 proof sets (all in sealed envelopes) of various dates. Most of them were mundane, so I resold them. Kept this one, as a result of the Cellophane toning of the Franklin. Photos are as good as I could get through mint packaging.

 

I'm at a 6.0 on the Buffalo for me. Had it been UNC, I would be at around a 6.5.

The Franklin is a very interesting coin! I'm puzzled as to how it can tone like that on both sides, while the quarter and dime adjoining it are bright white. I'd call it a 5.0, not a monster, but I like it.

 

I’m not a huge fan of the Franklin. The monochromatic toning is not that appealing to me. I am at 3.5 on it without pictures better showing the colors.

 

Gorgeous Buffalo nickel. I’d say 5.8.

 

Good to hear! It does look worthy of sending in at some point (maybe best to hold off now though as PCGS is way behind and the mail is still iffy too).

 

The picture makes it hard to judge the Franklin....I'm going with a 2.9 based on what I see (could easily be higher or lower with a different photo)

This Franklin is still in play until someone has a new coin to post:

3.4 on the Franklin

 

@thomas mozzillo & @Paul M. I'll finish up the linking (most has now been done)

And please let us know the score for round 111 when you are back @Paul M.
https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-monster-toned-coin-game-thread.363437/page-85#post-5304639

 

@ddddd Thank you very much. Still trying to figure it out.

 

4.2 on the Franklin, I removed mine from the PF set, and took some clear photos.
We can play this one or just use it as an example of @Morgandude11

 

4.2 on the Franklin. I should have waited, as I am sending it off to be certified. It looks like a Cameo, plus nice toning. Hard to tell in the mint package.

 

It looks like that.

 

I'll give the same 2.9 score on this Franklin....a decent proof toner

 

I like the new Franklin as well. I'll give it a 4.5, a little lower than the other one, only because of the small spotting.

 

Toned but not a whole lot of colors. For me I’m at a 3.0.
