The Toning Premium Thread Part 2

No worries then....and as an FYI for all, it's ok to post toners that we don't own (many of my postings aren't mine-just interesting ones I've followed).

@Lehigh96 are you predicting the future sell price with the 2030 guess

 

oops

The 2020 buyer gets the shovel.

No clue if I am the next, but the floor is open.

 

You and @thomas mozzillo won the last round, so either were eligible.
We can also open the floor to anyone who has something to post.

 

This one just arrived in the mail. It has the most incredible toning! The coin itself is 1881 years old. Don't know how old the toning is, though. Several decades, I'm guessing.


Faustina I, AD 138-140.
Roman AR denarius, 3.13 g, 18.3 mm, 5 h.
Rome, AD 138-139.
Obv: FAVSTINA AVG ANTONINI AVG P P, bare-headed and draped bust, right.

That’s a beauty @Roman Collector

Can you please give us a ballpark range for similar pieces so that we have a basis to guess the premium? I’m sure that many people (me included) wouldn’t know the typical prices as we tend to focus more on US.

 

I don't think there are guides to tell us a "normal" price for Ancients, right?

Until we have that ballpark I'd have no idea what to guess. But this is interesting to find out what toning might do to them.

 

No clue on the prices for these but I am not shy to throw out a number.

I am guessing these go for $300 to $500 untoned. A beautifully toned example likely not being common at all.

The flan does have a crack and the centering doesn’t seem that great as some of the legend is cut off and I know is often a contributing factor to eye appeal.

I will wager $650 as my guess.

 

$444.44

 

I'll throw out a wild guess of $375

 

Incredible coin! 602$

 

Eenie, miny.....$550
