It has been 24 hours since the last winner was announced. The floor is now open. Anyone interested in posting a toner may now do so!

 

pretty, can we see the reverse and since I dont have a world book could you give the book price

 

Ditto.

 

Beautiful coin..... no idea at all regarding what it's worth... I'll guess it's a $100 coin,, and then 5x premium....

so $500

 

Isn't that a Maria Theresa restrike? If so the value is more like $20. I would pay $20 if I wanted the silver.

Heck of a point Doug. Is toning premiums valid on bullion? Do you toning collectors pay huge premiums for toned ASE?

 

$49.50 going once, twice and sold to the man with the mustache !

 

Dont be insulted but... $17

 

$119.99 ????????????????????

Toning premiu8m for bullion? You know, I have some gorgeously toned silver tea sets. I wonder how much toning premium they would bring.

Seriously, why would any toning premium apply to silver rounds or other bullion? The entire purpose is to store silver for melting at a later date. It kind of throws a whole different perspective onto the toning premium thing if people are extending it past collectible coins, (which I may or many not agree with to begin with). Toning guys, do you consider it legimate to pay a toning premium on bullion coins? If so, how about silver bars? Silver objects? My said tea sets?

While I find the coin attractive, I can't assign any numismatic value to the coin and as others have stated it is basically bullion. I don't know much about the darkside, but I know they don't value toning as much as US coin collectors. Also, Doug is not a fan of paying huge premiums for toning. Therefore, my guess is $25.

 

I would guess $150.

 

I guess it really matters when he bought it. If it was a bullion purchase say 5 years ago then I'll say he paid $10 if it was within the last year or two I would say $16.50

 

The seasnake (still in the little lattitudes, not for much longer though) says $36, just comparing to some canadians I bought lately, otherwise, not a clue

 

When was it bought?
Knowing Doug it could be a century or so old

 

When I said that it has no numismatic value, I was only saying that the coin is bullion and should be priced based on intrinsic value. The toning premium would be what multiple you paid of the intrinsic/numismatic, that is correct.

I said they don't value toning as much as US coin collectors. They may like toned coins as much as we do, but valuing something means an increase in price which they don't typically do.
