<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimefreak, post: 991013, member: 24267&quot;]Took a nice little jaunt today to see if I could find some nice toners, unfortunately there were not any American toned dimes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I did however discover a coin with the most eye appeal I have ever seen!!!!! (This is no joke:veryangry<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> In the short period of time while holding it the luster dripping of from it spread across the dealers showcase and because of the bright neon greens and pinks I had to put my sunglasses on before looking through the loupe.(This is a joke:bart<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So I asked the dealers daughter for a price. After a little bit of rustling through some papers without skipping a beat she says &quot;$350&quot; So I quickly handed it back to her thinking she had no clue what she was looking up. So I ask her if I could look at the coin that was next to it. This coin is a very nice coin and I was convinced since it had the same neon pink and green rainbow colors&nbsp; the other coin has, the two coins had to have walked through the door together. So as you know it I asked for a price on this one. Once again she grabs the same book and says &quot;$800&quot;.........At this point im beyond confused. Never could have imagined hearing those two prices (rainbow colors or not). So I sadly procede to look at other items and conversate (dealers daughter was pretty easy on the eyes:thumb::yes:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; So now that you have the story behind it. The $350 coin is a MS65* 1916 silver 5 cents and the $800 coin is a MS64* 1915 canada silver 5 cents. It wasnt until I got home that I realized the two coins are <b>THE KEY</b> and the semi key to the series (excluding varieties) and his prices are right on the dot or better without taking the rainbow colors in account. So since I fell deeply in love with the 1916 I was wondering if Canadians demand toning premiums also. My idea is to purchase both at a <b><i>nice</i></b> discount and sell the key date to soften the blow on the 1916. As with any flip project I understand that there are risk involved so I am not seeking advice on what I should do (although ill consider any advice thats giving) but I want to have a better feel for the toning market in Canada before trying to pull this off. I appreciate all of your help :cheers:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
