To my knowledge, there is no way to achieve the toning correspondence exhibited on these coins after they are encapsulated. Perhaps the coins...
lol, gypsy bankroll
You are right Chris. It is extremely rare that I criticize another collector for paying a premium for a toned coin. But we are not talking about...
I was outbid on a nice XF example on TT a few years ago. Stay patient, finding the right Lafayette Dollar can take years. Have you given any...

There are 10 or 11 different varieties of the 1955 D/S. Here is a photo (courtesy NGC Variety Plus) of the one that is collectable and drives a...
Oh well, I tried!
I think some E-Bay buyers take toning premiums personally. That example was one that I could post on this forum. Most of the questions/comments...
