The Toning Premium Thread

p.s. I'd love to see someone tone a black coin rainbow. Ain't gonna happen, however, because black coins are the end result of toning and rainbow toning occurs before it turns black. So unless you have a natural process remove toning (of which I know of none) you will NEVER see a coin that's toned black turn into a rainbow (or any other non-black toning color). Toning, like time, only goes in one direction: Untoned->Colorful->Black. It's chemistry (corrosion) and physics (optics/thin film interference) that dictate this, and frankly, it's not really debatable.

I just ran out of popcorn! So, I have to run to the store.

Doug, please don't delete anything until I get back. I'd like to read it.

You can't relinquish the information because it doesn't exist. It is not possible to turn a black toned coin into a rainbow toned beauty. I never challenged you. I simply asked you to back up your statement.

 

The toning on that Jefferson is neutral and has no effect on the price of the coin. I will say $50.

 

oops, another thing I forgot to mention, is the price will be revealed Friday afternoon.

 

Toning is pleasant, but not much of a premium. The 64 grade and S/D will drive the cost. I'll guess $75.

 

Okay, time for the winner. Doug, right out of the shotgun hit the price right on the cent. $80.00 I will also say that the majority of responders also were correct in assessment why there was no premium paid for this coin. It's very nice in hand, has a decent amount of luster to it, but it is a low end 64 coin. The Seller wanted $100.00 for it, and I offered the $80.00 as a walk a way price, which I may have over paid, but it is an S/D . Doug, your up!

 

Doug, wake up. Your at bat!

 

O.K. let's see if we can keep the thread interesting.

This is a recent non-Ebay Auction piece . Opinions and final value estimates will be appreciated.

 

I love the reverse toning. Obverse so-so. Probably 1.5x-2x because of the toning. I'll guess about $125.

 

Ill throw out $100

 

I like it... nothing that would drive an excessive premium imo,, but would add a ~.2-.4x to my bid.... I'll go $80

 

nice but doubt the toning adds much but all the other factors have me scratching my head. $85 ?????

 

How about a flat $100?

 

I'll go $88 now I just need a flux capacitor and I can go back in time and get all the coins I want!

 

OH well, snooze, you loose . We will fit you in when you get home.

 

You a second guesser on that one.

 

Sorry! I missed it. $90, then.
