<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 710517, member: 13650&quot;]This isn&#039;t natural beauty?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/Coin%20Album1/1885-PRainbowRev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There are thousands of regular MS-64 1885-Ps out there but how many bag toned examples like this exist that didn&#039;t get melted down during the Pittman Act or dipped at some point?&nbsp;&nbsp; What if somebody here wanted an 1885-P just like mine here?&nbsp; What if 2 or 3 people wanted one just like this?&nbsp;&nbsp; Or 50?&nbsp;&nbsp; Who&#039;s going to find what and where?&nbsp; And how much will they pay for one that may not resemble this one at all?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t view this as damage at all.&nbsp; It was a natural process that occurred and has stopped occurring.&nbsp; You&#039;re left with this.</p><p>&nbsp; It may look like the colors could have been air brushed on there but the luster is not covered up at all.&nbsp; It cartwheels right through that color.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Toning gives character.&nbsp; It makes a coin one of a kind.&nbsp;&nbsp; I like MS, clean coins too but you can sell one off and buy another just like it any day.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Toned coins are special and should command a premium.&nbsp; Although I too agree that some of the premiums have become outrageous and that encourages AT&#039;ing.&nbsp;&nbsp; But, if one person is willing to pay it, what can you do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
