<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1232614, member: 26030&quot;]thanks for all the feedback ... very helpful to hear some other opinions.&nbsp; i never really know when an unusual coin speaks to me if I am out in left field.&nbsp; nice to know a few others on this board like this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>yes, leather has all sorts of chemicals in it.&nbsp; it really brings the whole NT vs AT question into play.&nbsp; I would think that whoever put this coin in the leather pouch did NOT do it with the intention of toning the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>coppermania, you got the toning premium exactly right ... the seller was at 2.2x ... and I was able to negotiate down to 1.9x ... thing is you just don&#039;t see this sort of color in gold very often (i never have before) -- so there is just no other backup coins I could look at that are similar if I walked away.&nbsp;&nbsp; granted, i would have felt better if I could have squeezed it down to 1.6x or so.&nbsp; what&#039;s a couple of hundred dollars between friends ... right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
