<p>[QUOTE="Coinguy56, post: 2065699, member: 27133"]Here is what always gets me. People can ask what ever they want for a coin, they have every right to. However, when you are looking at toned copper, going by just the grade on the slab or whether or not it's fully red or red-brown is not always the best thing to do. Some copper are toned more than others. As a result, people sometimes pay more or less, based on the eye appeal, rather than the grade. Put simply, you buy the coin, not the slab. Like Lehigh's example above, that is some beautiful toning. People pay more for toning like that. $65 doesn't sound too bad, but the eye appeal is almost always a factor in why that particular coin is priced the way it is. </p><p><br /></p><p>It applies to nearly everything.... A monster toned Morgan Dollar in MS-64 is usually more desirable and higher-priced than a non-toned frosted Morgan with the same grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>-Coinguy56[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
