    Hello fellow coin freaks. So I have lost my mind a bit lately over toned coins. Ive always liked em but have gotten a little nutty and have aquired some specimens, mostly mid 20th century, that to me are nothing short of stunning. That said, when dealing with a beautifully colored coin, how much if ant does that play into the grade? Assuming its an already MS coin, will the eye appeal actually add whole points? A 65 to a 66 or 7? Ive seen prices all over on these things so its tough to know wat theyre worth and what a good deal is. Any guidence would be great. Thanks

    The grade will not change, but the price could go way higher just for eye appeal.

    It depends. Eye appeal is part of a grade so yes it can move the grade to an extent if it has the right look. It won't make a 63 a 68 but it can bump a grade.

    All of that said most people who say colorful rainbow toning etc its really not
