The Toning Premium Thread Part 2

Me either. It really would be something just to be able to see a high grade one in hand.

Like a 66RB? Those things don't just show in albums or anything.... LOL

 

I know right. Just imagine getting to handle one raw

 

Meh, i rather have a proof Morgan or Peace.
(Glances up at custom title, snickers, exits)

 

So here's what I got. 1868 2c and from the opinions I've gotten and what I think it would hit at about AU50-53. I feel like if I sent it to one of the big 2 it may get slabbed at a 55, but let's just go with book at 50 for arguments sake. I was looking for a 64LM but...the toning on it caught my eye and I grabbed it up. It was shiny and sparkly and I said oooh how much.

I used LED light to get the second obverse shot. It was the only thing that came close to showing how it looks in hand. The reverse glows about the same.

 

$50

 

$75 ...looks nice, but I will assume it went for somewhat less due to being raw.

 

$100

I love 2¢ pieces!

And for future reference, raw coins are fine. Just do as moneycostingmemoney did and give us an approximate grade and value for that grade.

For the win

 

This could work in Price is Right, but I mentioned in my OP that the winner is just whoever is closest.
I appreciate the effort and you're next on my list of members to pass the right to post if I win.

 

Awwww man

All this talk of price is right made me forget the rules. I suck at this!

 

$2.
Blocked.

Ill guess 30 since raw

 

I'm at $60.00

 

Crap...so I just realized that my assessment was incomplete. When I said book at 50 I meant book value at AU50, which Redbook has 110 so I'll hit it with my algorithm and say it's actually/probably greysheeted at ~$75. Sorry guys, my bad.
Edited to add- If you want to change your values I'll go with what's posted after this. If nothing else is posted I'm gonna roll with your original guess.

 

I'll go with $90.

 

$70 here

Yes, please; I do not own an appropriate candidate for this thread which hasn't been publicized as widely as I could do it.

Seriously, I don't buy toners just for their toning, and if I do it's only because I could cherrypick them.
