This is not the coin!!!! But the coin that i would like to purchase is similar to this one. I was not able to get a picture but the one i am considering is the dark blue like the perimeter of the coin in the picture. Both sides of this coin are the same dark color. It looks absolutely beautiful! But is it worth $300 the seller will not take anything less. I love it but don’t want to waste my cash. ???? Hope everyone is having a great day.
If yours (not this one) is also PCGS, go ahead if you feel it's worth it...but if it's raw, don't touch it. For me, even if PCGS, wouldn't be worth it, but to each their own.
I don't think I wolul invest in this coin. I have purchased a few for very reasonable prices. I just got a silver bar hand poured for $27.90 an oz. I would spend that $300 on a silver object. As you know, I think Silver is going to roof out soon. Know some of. you disagree, but. Sully
Generally, this color is artificial toning. I don't know why but sometimes they are graded "details questionable color" and sometimes not. I have a few raw ones that I bought relatively cheap on eBay because I like them.. Many are available. Check out the auction link below. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184517076372?hash=item2af6132594:g:TssAAOSwMp9fn2Qx
Worth it ? I once saw 1 like your picture at Las Vegas coin show priced at $500 raw. I think the toning is real. Would I pay $300 ? No. Maybe $150.
Collecting is as much about what you really like and want, than what fills your collection, so if YOU love it, and others like it aren't available, I'd go for it and be happy, even if I over paid. Just me I guess.
PCGS says in Proof 69 its worth about $40. Any value attributed to the toning is highly subjective. I'd steer clear.
This type of toning is fairly well known on proof Jefferson nickels from the late 1950s through the 1960s (and occasionally other years). Some have also been created artificially. With some of these it is not as easy to tell (unless you've owned them in the original packaging since the 1950s/60s). The grading companies will usually grade them as market acceptable but I've also seen some return as "questionable color." I like the look and have owned several over the last few years. I've bought raw examples (of varying degree of toning) for under $5 and graded in the $45-$90 range. I've sold them in the $15-$150 range (with most averaging closer to $60). The market has been hotter since I sold my last one but I would still think $300 is too high for a PR 67 example. Keep looking and you should be able to find one at $150 or less. If you are willing to buy a raw or details graded example, then you could find them in the $20-$60 range. This one sold for $56.89. To me it's just as attractive as the straight graded example in the original post but cost a fraction of the price. It might even straight grade on a future attempt (if someone wanted to try). https://www.ebay.com/itm/3340634193...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
And here is another currently on eBay (not mine) that is again similar to the pictured example but in a details holder. It is listed at $45 plus shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/383742333434?hash=item5958d351fa:g:G78AAOSwwJ1eSBKE
That's an attractive coin to me but don't think I'd want to spend that much for one...but it's not up to me, it's all about what you really want and whether or not you want to look around for a less expensive one or you just owe it to yourself to splurge and get the coin.
