[QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 8296343, member: 23122"]Yes, two different auction listings with two different lighting setups yield to the observer, slightly different renderings of the toning, and maybe more importantly, the luster and contact marks that affect the visual appearance and grade. Since we're not talking about the grade driving the realized auction results but only the "monster toning" that the Seller attributes to it, the appeal to the potential Buyer would be that they could acquire a coin that has atypical natural toning that the vast majority of that issue in any grade do not possess, and to either keep it for their collection, or in the case of the second auction listing, flip it for a profit. Personally, compared to other graded Peace Dollar coins that I have seen, this one's Obverse toning is pleasing, and there is precedent at auction for near the price point that the earlier eBay Auction yielded for a pastel-toned Obverse, for example, at Great Collections: [COLOR=#0000ff][URL]https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/804864/1923-Peace-Silver-Dollar-NGC-MS-63-226-152-133-Toned-from-photo[/URL][/COLOR][/QUOTE]
