[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 951491, member: 17557"]Think of it this way. There are no price guides for toned coins. Some toned coins will fetch more than others, common dates could fetch more than keys, etc. It depends on how drastic the toning is, what the colors are, if it is market acceptable, etc. The Red Book shouldn't be used to determine any value of coins at all, if you are looking for a real estimate, eBay's completed listings, Heritage Auction Archives, PCGS, Numismedia and Grey Sheet are the price guides that should be used. Use as many as possible. For circulated toned coins, the values aren't as great as they would be if the coin was a BU example. A toned 1880-S Morgan that is EF versus a toned 1880-S Morgan that is BU will fetch far less money. People want the most for their dollar, and that means they want eye appeal. Uncirculated and a lot of AU pieces that are toned will fetch more money, depending on, what I said before, how the coins are toned, colors, how drastically toned they are, vibrance, etc. Your coin is worth a few bucks over melt value. It is well circulated, and isn't a key date. BEST case scenario, someone pays $10 for the coin on eBay.[/QUOTE]
