<p>[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1790186, member: 29643"]Tim, as has been said in the past, the thread is not owned/controlled by the original poster. Forums are dynamic systems, and sometimes they veer in unexpected (or undesired) directions. As for the comments made by BB4C, I agree that you're placing a rather large premium on foreign toned coins. The foreign coin market views toning as a negative, for the most part. That means that your potential marketability of the coin shrinks to the following group: US toning collectors that are willing to pay a premium for foreign toned coins. That market is much smaller than you'd think.</p><p> </p><p>Also, I never brought this up, because I thought it was obvious: The milk spots and carbon spots on the reverse would be enough to cap this coin at MS63 under Sheldon scale US standards. By foreign standards, you're looking at AU+/Unc- grade level. It's good that you don't care about the price/value/grade of the coin. If you did, you'd be in for a rude awakening when you go to sell it after paying $35 to have it slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
