Just one thing you left unreconciled...that toning now actually comprises some of that market grade on that slab. How much of it? That's for you bidders to figure out (just how much of that grade is strictly condition).

 

Another juicer who uses saturation enhancement to improve his auction results. Despicable.

 

Yep.

 

Actually, his photos are not that bad. They are pretty close to what you get, but I don't know about the toning on that Jefferson.

 

If that coin is juiced, that guy needs to get a job in Hollywood because he is the best juicer out there. I am not saying it is impossible, but that slab is entirely natural and the coin is that bright. Now, he could pull the coin out (photographically, speaking) to retouch the coin, but look at those scratches on the slab. They are aligned and colored perfectly across the edge of the coin. I do not see how that picture has been juiced one bit.

 

no i am not. its coming from the spell the grand vizier cast on me . now tell me where can i get one of those and how much do these cost?

 

That's from a book I've been reading. I don't remember the exact dates whether it was in the 1500s or 1600s but over in Holland, they did use Tulip bulbs as money for a while. The rarest ones were the equivalent of gold and higher. After some time, this system obviously collapsed and a lot of people were left holding the bag. As so often happens.

Yes, we have many examples of investments gone bad.

This dime selling for over $300 is insane. Just because you got a handful of nuts on the internet, worldwide, who are willing to bid it up this high, doesn't mean you're going to go to a dealer or a coin show and find anybody willing to give even $100 for it.

I guess the economic downturn hasn't reached everyone yet. I'd hate to see what else that person has been buying.

 

I must be in the minority here, but I think the toning on that dime is 100% natural. The blend of colors is just what you see on any rainbow toned Morgan. Some of the colors present are never ever found on fake-toned silver. Emerald, for example. So, maybe the owner put it in his album and stuffed it under the water cooler for 10 years. It is still natural.

 

There are certainly worse examples around, but I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one -- this is a seller that I've been watching for a number of years now and, not that I won't listen, but my opinion is strong on this one.

 

It's ok Spock....C'mon outta the closet..........

 

LOLOL. :thumb:

Spock, Come to the toned side! :whistle:

 

$8 i thought you were going to say high 3 figures. Light up the wand GD we are going to go hunt for those coins for $8

 

Never ever as soon as i spend that $8 i am not looking to buy toned coins after that okay so i might buy two one as a conversation piece and one as a collection piece but i am NOT going to become a toned coin lover :hammer:
