Jason, I think this is a really bad idea for one reason. What would you do when you encounter a rainbow toned coin that just misses the strike...
They use the star designation for gold coins, I used to own one. [IMG]
Is anyone going to pay that price? Listen, I take a lot of abuse for paying premiums for toning, but at least I can see it.
MS65
Does a barely visible retained cud raise the value of the coin above what you paid for it? If not, how does this purchase qualify as a cherrypick?
Attractive and lustrous, but a little mushy. The 38-D is easily found in premium gem so I think this one just misses. I say MS65.

That listing violates the PNG Code of Ethics which states: IMO, GSC does this routinely with their raw coins. If they were overly optimistic...
I need to ask, do you think that the scratches on the obverse of that coin will keep the coin from grading as a problem free coin?
Another option is to completely refuse to do business with a dealer who doesn't conform to the ethical standards of the PNG, and to warn new...
I don't know how much it sold for, but the Sunnywood 1881-S represents the pinnacle of rainbow toned coins IMO. [IMG]
Wait, so you admit that there are problem coins in their inventory that are being sold without the problem being divulged? This is my whole...
At this point, we have 20 members who voted on the grade of the coin. Not one of those collectors thinks the coin is GEM BU, but the seller does....
