Toning Premiums - 400%

I like Morgans but they're already pretty expensive compared to how common they are, I can't imagine how expensive they would be if every PF70UC collector got into them.

 

I think they were at one time, but it is harder to game Morgans because of there age and imperfections

 

The premium is for coppers in their original (natural?) state (RD), so in effect, toning (RB and BN are a change in the coin's color/tone) gets hit with a discount.

 

Why don't you spend your time posting coins you like? Seems like you hate the hobby.

 

I am trying to learn something. If I like a coin, I don't really have any questions about it. This coin presents a question for me. I actually like this coin. It is the price that I question and the value of the * designation.

 

Well.... we can buy it, and crack it out of the case, and spend it on a Cocoa-Cola Slurpy. And the local immegrant who works the counter plays with it for 30 minutes, trying to figure out if it is real, it can be swept up by a bank and sent to the Fed which does whatever they do with old IKEs.

 

If you don’t want to play if you don’t want to pay. All that Ike Dollar has on it is some album toning that I don’t find outstanding or highly attractive.

What bugs me are the coins that the coin doctors ruin with their artificial toning methods.

 

I love rainbow toned coins but I never pay up for them anymore. I feel like whoever sells them just picks a random number out of the air and adds a couple zeros. There’s no reasoning to the prices of 90% of toners.

 

Agreed. Why is there such a premium on what is essentially CORROSION?

 

I see your point, and pretty much refuse to pay a high premium myself, toning has an originality factor. Most if not all bright white coins have been dipped in the past. Acceptable practice Yes. But, the coin has also been cleaned even if done correctly.

 

Didn't anyone notice it's already been discounted 50%. Wait a week, it will likely be priced at $112.49. Some toning can be attractive but not this one, IMO, classic coins with natural toning sometimes, but really, I'm not a fan.

 

Most natural toning is exceptional but altered toning does not float my boat. I would not purchase one.

 

I love Toners.

 

Sorry, when the toning turns black, it’s at its final stage and has gone to far.

 

Hopefully the Slab will buy it some time. Also have it in an Intercept Shield.

 

With 153 and only one higher, that's high. Even with a star designation I don't see the up side in buying it for that price. Unless it's a person with a specific look in mind. Yet I do like the album tone going on.

 

Be careful with toned coins on ebay, i found out the hard way there are a bunch of jackasses there who tone coins manually. Go look at their other items and the first 20 were all toned. Avoid those sellers like the plague as they take advantage of uneducated buyers.! Buyer beware, if it looks too good to be true, it just might be!

 

I have a beautifully toned 1964-D Dime that I'm about to send for grading in great condition with full torch and full bands. Any idea what it will be worth when graded and how much you'd pay for it?
