[ATTACH]124785.vB[/ATTACH] I think these toned coins are hard to value because they are so unique, and all you need is two people that really want it and the price takes off. Certainly regular white 1886 MS67s can be found for between $800 and $900 (in spite of the NGC/Numismedia price guide saying their value is $1280). I have always found this sort of discrepancy confusing as I thought the Numismedia price guide was based on auction results?? So I think you got a great deal on your nicely toned 67star for under $900, ML94539 ! Tell you one thing though, I didn't blink twice at the price of my coin.
