The Toning Premium Thread

Beautiful coin.... I don't think world coins draw nearly as much premium as US coins (speaking of bubbles), but given it's a pop 1 I'll add two zero's and say $100 even.

Weird, when I click on the picture I just get a bigger picture, nothing else

 

I'll say $65 , beauty of a coin though .

 

rzage is the closest, I got it for $30, very little interest in the bidding on teletrade.

 

holy cow seasnake! i think you got a great deal.

 

Pretty coin, nice pickup.

 

Smart work.

 

hey seasnake ... since you use teletrade, is there a way to have coin images come up after a search (rather than a bunch of links) ... i find it so annoying that I have to click on every single link to see all the searched coins

 

I don't know, I generally don't "search" on TT, I have a few issues that I am buying currently and I really only care about color not particular dates so I just scroll thru the various denominations that interest me. This year its silver washies, mercs, 1/2 cents and certain foreign.

 

Since our last winner did not post a new coin, I will throw this up here.
How much did this 2-sided color toned morgan sell for?

 

$225

 

Who was the last winner?

I would go 180 on the 1888 N64.

 

$160

 

ANSWER on the 1888 Morgan ... $245
rlm was the closest

Although I do think a fair market valuation on this coin is probably closer to the $180 to $200 range
So excellent guesses all!

 

Again I pass, but to blu62vette.

 

Cool!

Here is one I bought at the Houston Money Show, December 2010. Coin is a PCGS 65.

 

That's beautiful blu62!! I like the luster and gold toning. Plus you get toning on 2 sides with a rainbow on the reverse.

So the PCGS price guide values an untoned MS65 at $225 -- since premiums compress on higher grades (with higher $ starting points) and since you bought it at a coin show and not an auction (where a frenzy can sometimes develop) I will say you bought this for $325. However I bet if this was on ebay, it would have popped somewhere between $400 and $450.

 

Grey sheet bid on the '85-O is $195 and was probably a bit lower in Dec. '10. Great color but with the luster grazes on the cheek, darkness around the date and toning irregularity on the reverse left, I'm going to stay conservative with $290. BTW I really like the rev. toning; nice pickup.

 

I was going to say $325, but I guess I have to go $350

 

How about a couple more guesses before I post the grade?
