Let's play guess the toning premium. What do you thing this brought recently at auction? And no cheating (we are also not looking at the earlier sale from several years ago although that can be discussed after the reveal). This coin has a PCGS guide value of $100. And a generic MS 63 (no toning) sells in the $85-$95 range on average per eBay.
Reverse toning very pretty, love those purples! Obverse is nothing special, even a bit of a negative. I think collectors prefer pretty toning to be on obverse, but that is just my gut feeling. I am thinking $350. Can't wait to be wrong by a factor of 5x.
I think that reverse brought on the bidding and hammer was $475. I’m waiting to see how much more wrong I am than @geekpryde . Edit to add that I think this is a fantastic coin.
