Thanks Jack, you just provided us a very good definition of monster toning. When you are not looking and it yells at you through the glass, that...
Really Nice (Litte to no Premium) [IMG] Nicer (2x bid) [IMG] Much Nicer (3-5X bid) [IMG] Spectacular (5-7X bid) [IMG] Monster (10X+ bid)...
You value strike and would pay a premium for it, others value eye appeal and would pay a premium for rainbow toning, I fail to see the difference....
Jack, Those are very nice Lincolns. Didn't you place a bid that was 10X sheet on an ANACS graded peace dollar in January?
NPcoin, The TPG's do and will continue to make mistakes. That is a simple fact of life. Overall, they do a great job of grading coins and I...
The reason I stated that was because I have not heard one collector say they would pay a premium for a coin with a sticker. If the bid price is...
I would like to start a discussion about the effects that rainbow toning has on price. Many collectors can't fathom paying 5X-10X-20X bid for a...
Brandon is a very standup guy. I ran into a few problems over the years in my dealings with Anaconda, but he always made things right in the end....
NPCoin, Your post is very prophetic, but I doubt that the CAC will cause the complete collapse of the numismatic market. I don't think that the...

Greg, ewizard made a supposition when he stated that Anaconda tanked because they sold toned coins for 5-10X bid. We both know that those kinds...
You guys realize that this coin is a capped bust half dime not a capped bust half dollar. Now, I don't know enough about this series to say that...
Um, NNC is not a third tier service. I am not sure how many tiers there are, but whatever the number, this company belongs all the way at the...
Greg, You don't really think that only 1% of the coin collecting community is aware of the CAC do you. Not that we would be able to prove it,...
No I do not know, and I think that is a completely inappropriate question to ask a dealer, so I will not ask Brandon. However, your tone seems to...
I am not sure I would classify a guy who retired and sold his business as "tanking", but either way, 5-10X bid is completely normal for a common...
Anaconda specialized in buying toned coins at auction for conservative prices and then selling them for huge markups on their website due to...
I doubt it since you just responded to my intro post saying you don't like toned coins. However, I am worried about the other toned coin junkies...
My guess is that because of their specialized inventory, especially the toned coins which sell at premiums to the price guides, it would have been...
