$1001

 

Coins with higher numismatic values don't demand the same kind of premium as the common date coins that have dominated this thread. From what I can ascertain, the average price for this issue is between $800-$900. Add 25% for the toning and the range becomes $1,000-$1,125. I will split the range and say $1062.50!

 

$975

 

ha... ok, $999 is off limits....

 

Love that coin , nice strike and color , $1155 .

Last time I passed to Leadfoot, but he just had a turn. So I will open the floor to whom so ever wants to post.

I did a poor job getting the picture... the blue wraps around the center from 3oclock to 12oclock, but you can see it because of the shadow..

 

Numismedia Wholesale is about $20 for this issue and that blue coloration is very common on both Mercury and Roosevelt Dimes. My guess is that the premium is less than 2X wholesale. I will say you paid $32!

 

Fairly common date. $75?

 

ok.,,,, rlm's, give it 3 minutes before you peg it this time,, or post one of your nice cent toners next time:devil:

this year, from a known felon currently doing time up state for punching an 82 yr old lady in the mouth and taking her toner collection... a real addict.

 

agreed,, overpaid badly. I liked the 1st gen holder and was willing to give a bit more than 2x for that.. plus the slab had it as fsb, which it isn't,, so makes the slab even more of a novelty and made me want it even more (pretty counter to buy the coin, huh)... anyway,, it's very nice reverse and the toning is really bold in hand,,,, but yeah,, around 32 is what I think it's worth,, maybe an extra 10 buck for the 1st gen slab w. wild fsb attached....... money lost on the buy for sure.

 

I Think you are saying that you paid $75 for that dime? BTW, I gave you 26 minutes. And all of my toners have been posted save one or mostly they are raw.

I think I will stab $75 on this one also.

 

$65 on the morgan

 

Not a fan of that coin. $50

 

$70 on the Morgan

 

... as an advanced toner advocate, do you really believe this coin sold for $50,, or just saying 50 to express your displeasure with the toning ? Show me another that is similar in any auction site that sold for $50....
I'm actually targeting this color (ocean'ish, with some sea greens).. I like the color, and the light tone also equates to a less corroded coin and one which is much less likely to run black in my lifetime or my heirs livetime... those dark blues & reds that sell so such premiums are one step away from black in toning progression,, and any poor unintended poor storage will likely turn them that color in time...... anyway, I picked this one up from Shane (our in house toner felon ..... he could post some 'much' nicer pics, but the color is roughly the same.. his will definitely show more detial in both the coin and toning pattern. This one I have very happy with. Keep these coming Krypto.. ! Building my "O" is for ocean collection.

 

... ha...... did you just reach across the table and poke me in the eye ?
surely my picture taking isn't that bad....

 

As a quick aside, I can feel your guys pain now regarding trying to take good photos of toned coins. I am not a photographer, so before I could not relate. However, I just bought a coin from a huge auction firm and posted their pic in the ancient forum. The pic I bought from showed major weakness on the reverse, and some on the front. I bought it from this pic anyway since it had the details I wanted. Anyway, I get the coin in hand last night, and it turns out the "weakness" is due to gorgeous gold and red toning on the silver, and in fact the coin is much higher grade than believed. Not only did the toning not show up on the pic, it hid details that were there. I am very happy since I got a much better coin than I thought of course.

Anyway, I can somewhat commisurate with troubles now of taking good photos of these. I would have been happy with just a pic of the details, I can imagine how hard it is to get that AND the toning right on a picture. Do you guys have trouble capturing these details, or people thinking a coin is lower grade because of the toning changes?
