<p>[QUOTE="mill rat41, post: 1890910, member: 16688"]I am one of the people that would pay many multiples of book value for great toning. The coin in the OP I would call nicely toned, but not a rainbow. It looks like it sold for roughly double book value- which to me seems somewhat reasonable. Keep in mind though that many toners need to catch the light at the correct angle for the colors to "pop". Pricing can be tough to figure. It really boils down to what someone will pay. I try to save my money, so that when the right coin comes along (at a reasonable price) I can jump on it. I wouldn't buy a pricey toner unless I could see it in hand or unless the seller has a hassle free return policy. To many collectors paying for color is crazy, but when my favorites are visiting from the SDB my eyes light up every time I look at them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
