Unfortunately, not all people come to CT to learn, but most do. So, why shouldn't a person try to educate the untrained collector rather than cheat them out of their money. That sucks!

I guess we have more two-faced people on CT than I expected.

 

Just peruse the threads about the flippers that crash the mint website trying to get as many as possible to flip for a profit.

 

Thing is, most people that will buy these at ~$70 buy them because they like them, not because they think or care if it's AT or NT. Look at what they'll pay for TPG AT's. If you say to the potential buyer "These are artificially toned", I would guesstimate that less than 5% would then change their mind. They buy them because they like them, and that's ok.

 

not my moneyno thanks and op's examples are definitely AT.

 

Yeah, just like all the people that bought the crap from the Franklin Mint until they found out what it was really worth!

 

Hello! I appreciate all the discussion. I do know I can tell you sulphur is a common part of the life I had in Hawaii the last 2 years and rusted my craftsman ratchets in a handful of days- could've mentioned that. I took them out of cases and got better even pictures. They were previously in bullion plastic 20-pack pucks and had survived return flights early last fall. I didn't want to effect the valuations much while I'm still on the road... So; by these numbers, which look "too odd to be true" given the past personal witness to the sulphur vents on the '91 kalapana lava flow? Either way I would love to hear which coins (if any) have more appeal or considered 'tropical weathering NT' moreso. They were brighter until I had some travel and humidity(?)
Cheers!

 

Here's #6-10! Enjoy

 

#11-15 pix now ...

You can vote by t handy little survey on top folks hehe

 

Which ones you say are 70's?

 

I thought you had 4 of them and said you could sell them for $70.00 each.

 

I have 21 coins, sorry the first pics weren't too helpful in organization ..
any@70 or more/less?

 

Okay, if this was all done by volcanic fumes, it could very well be 100% natural -- but that still doesn't make it market acceptable. It doesn't much matter whether the gas came out of a volcano or a flask; it's not what toner collectors are looking for.

 

I will obviously have to selectively sell to buyers who accept this real world exposure potentially causing these effects worth noting, I've seen artificial toners that look blotchy and like psychedelic Easter eggs so I had felt more confident in the few that were darker and bronzer when bought. I would love to see some examples of toned coins you may have that are great examples of the "typical basement collectors oxidation level". I also know salts exposure in vehicles and electronics vary state to state, continental regions etc.(environmentally; agriculturally; atmospheric) Thanks for the insights! I'm happy with the raw materials gained for science experiments if nothing else but hedging

Maybe we can talk about my older Romans later...

 

The government's retardation and evolved idiocracy since Nixon has caused the mint to crash, but ey look at the sheep define the wolf ha

 

I'm more than lucky. Not ONLY are these STILL pure silver you goon,but they are selling faster than I can respond to this trivial forum recourse well above suggested values here. 'trash talk' needs more recycled wisdom here. I'm out, enjoy your banter

 

Nobody has done more than hold them in a safety box.
