I stay away from toned coins. are they or are they not real natural toned and to over charge for the color not me .i will stick to my other coins. if people buy them of course the prices get very large . a waste to me

 

Hi guys .. can I get some feedback/opinions on this coin that I'm about to send to PGCS (or NGC) for grading. It's a 1964-D Roos Dime in very good condition that has full torch/full bands. What would be the premium over what the grade would fetch, as I do intend to sell it - hopefully to someone who loves beautifully-toned coins.

 

Its not worth certification don't send it in im thinking $5-$10 max if someone really wants it that bad.1964 D one of the most common dates even in uncirculated condition.

 

Can you get better pictures?

 

please take this to a new thread

 

I'm a big fan of toned coins. They can be gray or have nice color. They have to be what I feel is natural toning and be pretty. I'm even good with Bust coins with nice secondary toning. I'll also buy nice white silver but I want great luster. With copper, I like red but like RB with pretty color even more. We all have different taste and I think that's a good thing.

 

Yes, even Ike's. Coins begin to tone as soon as they are struck.

 

Natural Rainbow Toning naturally transitions from color to color. Ungraded I offer a 20% premium. Graded PCGS/NGC notes if a coin had “questionable color” then becomes a Detailed coin. Recently Heritage had a common Morgan 1885-O with blues to reds / oranges then violet purple graded 66+ PCGS. There were 117 trackers, 22 bidders. It sold for $7200.

Natural art is unique and appreciated by many.

One of the raw Morgan’s I bought was completely blue on the reverse and came back PCGS(only one submitted thus far). MS 64. A 1900 for $50.

 

I like the natural light “camel” toning seen on rims. “Tarnish” is a bad word in my vocabulary.

 

jackpot for the seller. I don't know if it is a good deal for the buyer, or good for the hobby.

 

A few years ago, when I was studying overseas, I went on a walk in Amsterdam from our hotel near the Rijks Museum to the Albert Culp market. Along the way we passed this old timers store that sold artistic post card, stamps and coins. One of the coins in the window was this clad Manhattan 5 Euro commeriative which was white blast silver on the front of the card (the coin was packages in a card) but the reverse was toned badly. I picked it up anyway. The fellow who owned the shop and his wife were both in there early eighties and Jewish, and they had a few stories to tell, including there expereinces with the Nazi round ups and how they escaped while the rest of the family was exterminated. But he enjoyed his life in Amsterdam, despite being increasingly surrounded by Muslim Arabs in that particular section of town. This is the coin

It is hardly a perfect coin, but it reminds me how toning turns out over time.
