The Toning Premium Thread Part 2

Regardless of the problems that may exist with this coin, I believe it did sell for more money than a non toner. Maybe $500 over FMV ???
The previous, ugly duckling SAE sold for about 10 x FMV (MS68) for it's color. Also from eBay. I'm starting to see a pattern here.

IMO it looks like the same coin. I'm basing that by the dot on the nose (showing on the proof) directly across from the bottom of the eye. I believe I can still see it on the toned coin. Could also be that I'm suffering from a case of pareidolia.

 

It looks like the same coin.
It's been played with.

Someone please post the next one for me. Thanks

 

By popular demand. (Or not) "inside the box".
Third times the charm...
(please hold back if you are familiar with this one)

1881S Morgan. PCGS - MS66+
Guide price is $300
How much did this one sell for ???

 

I'll say $600 on the 1881-S.

 

EOR Morgans with green usually fetch tidy sums, I'm going big

$1100

 

$1,250

I don’t like it that much (I’m not saying QC) but I think someone paid up for it.

 

NT, QC, or AT ???

 

It’s NT in my opinion.
However, I think the photo is a bit enhanced and that the coin might be more dull in hand.

 

Hmmm nice but not too nice...$987

 

925.00

 

Will post the reveal tomorrow (Sun)
While we wait, here's a link to a thread (CU) of toned Morgans it is worth a look.

What about that thread is most interesting to you?

 

A prime example of pics, that hide flaws (-s) while highlighting the colors and other attributes (+s). "Juiced photos."
I will say that they (all but 1) are graded gem or better.
You had mentioned juiced pics.

 

The reveal....
The lofty sale price was $1997.50
@ddddd wins the round.

And the full slab pic..




Look familiar anyone ???

 

$1,345

 

I really don’t like the look of that 1885.

 

Sorry for revealing too soon, I should have waited another day. It had been around 48 hrs. though.

 

I don't know what's real (NT) anymore. Soon.... I'm afraid no one will.

 

I was nice and didn't say anything about the old "Ed Wood" after the fact grading, and price guessing methodology that was applied here.
