Sublime Bob!
I find the reason perfectly logical. That said, if you cant even admit the reason why rainbow toned coins are popular, my argument for the...
Well, the toning "fad" as you put has been alive and well for longer than you have. If you want proof, I can show you. I do have a question for...
But what if I like them all? [IMG]
I agree that $1K is a very high price for that coin with toning which I don't personally find that attractive. The 1886 is one of the easiest...
Must not have been paying attention when this thread was started. A nice coin but all of Sunnywood's common date Morgans were premium gem and...
That explains it, PCGS will not grade a Jefferson premium gem (MS66 or better) without the coin having at least above average luster. Many of the...
Unless the luster is off or your photos are hiding something, that Jefferson Nickel is undergraded.
The Morgan Dollar photo is playing tricks on me. It seems to be very lustrous but there are so many areas of flatness and lack of detail that I...
If they accept coins with monochromatic toning for PR70 grades, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same for coins with rainbow toning. [IMG]...
Love it Paddy, a very cool and relatively affordable variety with a nice spread. I sold a very nice one of those last year. [IMG]
I would go with a first year of issue type coin like a 1917 T1 SLQ MS63 FH, 1913 T1 Buffalo Nickel MS66, or 1916 Mercury Dime MS66 FB. All three...
I think that the large majority of Morgans that show toning are bag toned Morgans which will show a rainbow progression on one side with the...
In fairness, I had the MS62 and Unc Details QT mixed up. I thought the 1884-O would grade MS62, but hoped I was wrong and my wish was granted. I...
Pacecar, are you going to divulge the grades soon?
The coin wasn't super lustrous as it had been dipped and the toning you see is from the Dansco I had it housed in for over 5 years, but to equate...
I think it was the reverse crescent in combination with the correct toning correspondence from obverse to reverse that probably tipped the scales.
They do that to me often. I have sent coins that have absolutely no signs of cleaning yet they come back in details holders. I sold that...
I only said that the coin "could easily" end up in a details holder. This is based upon my personal experience in submitting raw Barber Quarters...
Well that explains the toning pattern on the 1879-S. The PCI inserts were infamous for imparting light pastel target toning on all white silver...
