1970 s nickel toning

How much do you think this is worth? It is a very nicely toned coin on both sides and it has a beautiful luster. I also believe that the toning has been growing - every few months, it seems to have grown a millimeter or so. What I’m trying to say is, what do you think about it’s value, and maybe if I should get it slabbed and graded or something?... Anyways, here are the pictures.

Looks like a proof. Not enough value to send in for grading.

 

Try taking pictures of your coins outside the holders.

 

To me, the haze on this proof is fugly. I wouldn't buy it with Larry's money.

It's a proof coin so it's not worth the grading costs. Put in a flip and protect it.

 

It's already in a flip. I'm trying to get him to take it out of the flip!

 

For storage or photos?

 

Just take it out for photos then put it be.

 

Yes to removing for better photos and then place back into the flip for storage.

 

As noted by our fellow enthusiasts, it's a proof which was probably liberated from a coin folder/album. The ring on the outer rim is indicative of a proof that was popped out of an album and returned to the wild because of the tone. Most folks don't like that...especially on a proof coin so it becomes a spender. Considered to be an impaired proof I suppose. The haze may be removable based on some reading I've done here lately. You may want to do a Search on MS70 and how to use it.
