<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 563361, member: 15309&quot;]The effect that rainbow toning has on a coin is much less pronounced on a proof coin.&nbsp; It may still be beautiful, but it just doesn&#039;t jump out at you the way that it does on a mint state coin.&nbsp; As a result, I don&#039;t see very many rainbow toned collectors that collect proofs.&nbsp; On the contrary, most proof coin collectors prefer coins with DCAM and untoned, unhazed, pitch black deep mirrored fields.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those that do like toned proof coins can usually obtain them without paying a premium.&nbsp; Personally, I love the toning on this coin but I don&#039;t think it would warrant a star designation because of the mottled nature of the toning on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most people don&#039;t know unless they collect 20th century modern proof coins how elusive these coins can be in CAMEO.&nbsp; The further back you go towards 1936, the tougher they are to find.&nbsp; This issue has a total population of 86/7 in CAMEO.&nbsp; My guess is that you got it for between $350-$400.&nbsp; I think the Numismedia Wholesale of $440 is way too high for this coin and think it should be more like $250-$300.&nbsp; Either way, your chances of finding a 1951 PF68 CAMEO Rosie with that kind of toning in the future is slim to none.&nbsp; If you got that coin for less than $400, it is a great deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
