The Toning Premium Thread

Bag toning...though not typical...a fully green toned Morgan is a rare bird for sure.

I like the color of the coin, but both photos seem to indicate that the luster is a little flat and that the toning lacks vibrancy needed to generate a huge premium. In addition, there are some toning breaks on the obverse which will also turn off some of the more discerning collectors. Numismedia Wholesale is $38 and I will say that the premium is 5-7X wholesale. My guess is $228.

 

Well I purchased that little green gem on Ebay in 2005 or 2006 for $63 bucks, then when I saw it again at the 2010 FUN show I had to pay $140 to pick it up which I felt then and still do was a bargain. If I were to list it in a no reserve auction on Ebay I feel like the coin would probably sell for pretty close to Lehigh's guess...$200 to $250 maybe a touch more and yes the luster isn't booming like an S mint but it's there lol


Not sure who was closest but I think it was bahabully?

 

Nice buy for that money.

 

Maybe she was on the Andrea Gale.

Shane, I want it!

 

I will leave it too you in my will lol

 

Sorry once again for playing out of turn, but anyways here's mine, guesses? Should I get it graded then sell? Thanks for your wisdom fellas.

 

I appreciate that Shane, however if you do put it on ebay let me know. I've bought from you in the past and really like your eye for color.

 

Will do! Thanks


As far as the Canadian cent...I posted my thought on the previous page....I would only have it certified if you were thinking of selling. It has a little carbon crust to it but I think certified in say MS64 or above the coin could certainly bring $50 to $75 on Ebay as it appears to be exceptional. Without the toning it's probably not worth .50 cents and if the toning gets darker it could hurt the value so I would at least pull it out of the mint set cardboard it is in so the toning progression slows down or stops all together.

 

Assuming that a 62 canadian cent is as common as a US 62 cent I couldn't believe it would go for more than $5-$10, even slabbed.. just way toooo common . Anyway, I'll guess $4 for the cent....

 

$22

 

Thanks a bunch, all I really needed to know.

 

This is an aside that I thought some of you might appreciate: I posted a link to a beautiful 44-D toned Walker several pages ago. It went for $2,530 yesterday, or a bit more than 3x wholesale. I was guessing it might go $1,600 to $1,800. Little did I know.

Count yourself fortunate you did not get caught up in that bidding. OVER THE TOP BIDDING.

 

I offered $70 for it as is raw.
Coin is a beauty and I haven't seen a roll of BU 1962 cents Canadian in over a year.
On the other hand Ive bought over 300 BU Morgans in the past 4 weeks.

 

In the 2001-2002 recession, I dumped 10 BU rolls of 1962 Canada Cents into circulation. I couldn't get enough to cover package and shipping.

 

I don't blame you the asking price on that roll was $.75
I just love the toning on this 1962. It's very vivid and rarely unseen on Canadian cents.
On the other hand rolls of gem BU Morgans MS 63+ are in the $700 range.
1958-D wheat cent BU rolls are at around $3 last I've checked.
