The Toning Premium Thread

Well, I just found out I won the last round. I participated to learn. I have not as yet paid a premium for a toned coin so I must pass on posting one for the next round.

I don't ever recall LEHIGH ever referring to himself as an " Expert " . While many of us are familiar with his enthusiasm and pursuit for collecting exquisite natural toned coins, many of us have to come to pay high respect for his opinion's in that regard. I, and problem many of us, on the other hand are not as familiar with your knowledge of the subject. That being said , there is no need to disrespect his expertise in an effort to introduce your opinion. You also make some good points regarding this coin, and I am able to digest both opinions without having to first decide who know's more .

 

So it is your claim that you can tone a black coin further and end up with a beautiful monster. Your current reason for not wanting to prove that contention is that you don't want hurt my feelings by proving me wrong. Rest assured, I have a very "thick skin". By all means, show us how to turn a black toned coin into a beautiful monster without dipping the coin.

BTW, metallurgy focuses on engineering materials such as steel & aluminum, not the corrosion of precious metals.

 

No, its kind of like this thread. This thread does nothing but show how unpredictable the toning market is.

 

Here is how I see it.

You bluffed!

I called!

Either show your cards or muck your hand!

 

I am not hijacking the thread but I agree this discussion will have to end before another toner gets posted. We can't have both conversations running at the same time. Good thing the discussion is at showdown, huh?

 

If it's okay, I'll post another toner.

 

Proceed!

 

Try this one on for size

This also happens to be an S/D variety OMM 1 , and bought as a MS 64 . The coin was purchased in 2010, private transaction .

 

Ill muck with my left and continue counting benjamins with my right

what do you think im some type of fool?

 

Please see post #404 and/or #405.

 

I don't even know what that is supposed to mean!

 

It means I am not relinquishing any information that might be detrimental to me or anybody that I share interest with. To think that I would, because of a measly challenge shows that not only are you narcissistic, but you under estimate me. Proceed.

 

I'll go $60 on the 54S/D.... raw, so discounted a bit. The toning doesn't add much to that one for me.

BTW... as to what it's suppose to mean.. please ref. the following documentary regarding toning...where:
1 - toning equates to cow bell
2 - musician playing cow bell equates to toner dealers
3 - producer equates to toner collectors,, note the influence of the cow bell player on the collector <snerk>
... and if, and only if, toner marketing is done correctly... then we'll all be wearing "gold plated diapers"
where "gold plated diapers" equates to the intended meaning in this post... (i think)

Okay, enough already. If you have a personal problem with a member , take it to a private conversation and stop using this thread for your own kick boxing arena. Dime, your supposed to be a senior member here. With that comes a responsibility to act like an adult. There is no room for flame baiting comments in this public forum. Your doing your best to create an atmosphere contrary to the purpose of an educational environment.

 

$55, don't think the toning either adds or detracts.

 

I would agree with Seasnake that I think the toning is just there, not bad but not unusual. I cannot guess since I don't know the book on this variety.

 

Little to no premium for that kind of toning. I'm guessing $48.50.
