[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1027925, member: 2972"]In my opinion, there would be little premium for a coin toned as such. Here's how I would evaluate the toning premium on the buy side (i.e. if I were considering purchasing it): Using PCGS price guide as an example, the retail price for this coin is listed in 63 for $235. The retail price for the coin in the next higher grade, 64, is $280. I would expect an appropriate price for the coin to be between the two (i.e. some small premium, but not to exceed the price of the next grade up) -- $250-ish sounds about right. As for the coin and on the sell side.... The coin has a few negatives, IMO: (1) splotchy, (2) reverse rather than obverse toning, (3) a common toning pattern/coloration (i.e. none of the money greens or neons), and (4) the luster appears a bit flat (which perhaps explains the 63 grade, as the surfaces seem clean for a 63). Marketed correctly it can bring a bit of a premium (perhaps by taking complimentary photos), but I would not expect that you could sell it easily to a dealer for anything but greysheet. A specialist dealer may offer a bit more. That said, I'm not aware of the relative toner rarity of this particular date, and that could be a factor which could sway the valuation -- perhaps someone more familiar with the series can comment in this regard. All of the above IMO & respectfully submitted.[/QUOTE]
