Your Thoughts on this Toned Peace dollar?

PCGS toned Peace

I know Peace Dollars are hard to find toned, But that is a ugly coin to me!

I have a rule about slamming the same coin twice in one week. Someone ATS asked their opinion about that coin last week. My guess is NO LUSTER AT ALL, hence the grade. The surfaces are definitely better than MS60. Silent Net Grade IMO.

Doesn't do a whole bunch for me.

Probably the reason it only got MS-60-ed

I would only like to have that coin on me one day of the year, St. Patricks day.

braddick · December 28, 2011 12:17PM

I wasn't aware of the thread across the street.
I appreciate the opinions so far.

MS60 is a bit of an unusual grade and generally denotes a very unattractive coin.

Or, back then perhaps a bit shy on the color?

I'm in the discounted grade boat. Whether it's devoid of luster or questionable toning I don't care for the coin.

shes looking a bit green hope she doesnt puke on ya lol

I absolutely love Peace dollars. I'm gaining an appreciation for nicely toned coins. These two concepts rarely mix. This coin doesn't come close.

ricko · December 28, 2011 11:25PM

Not attractive at all.... Cheers, RickO

astrorat · December 29, 2011 12:16AM

Yikes!

baddogss · December 29, 2011 12:58AM

I'd pass on that one. Looks NT, but not pretty.

<< MS60 is a bit of an unusual grade and generally denotes a very unattractive coin. >>

And perhaps someone's science experiment.

They say 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'...
So i guess someone loves that baby.

Doesn't ring my bell though......

BillJones · December 29, 2011 3:47AM

Not for me ...

The color looks more like something that came out of an ink bottle than a reaction between the coin and chemicals from cloth or paper.

MikeInFL · December 29, 2011 3:50AM

Interesting coin.

The pattern looks like album toning, but the coloration is odd.

ajman · December 29, 2011 4:05AM

I personally do not find it attractive but what is more disturbing is that someone paid $177.50 for it.

Flatwoods · December 29, 2011 4:08AM

I don't care for it much.

Shamika · December 29, 2011 4:15AM

I love toned Peace dollars. But I prefer my toning to be more subtle.

IrishMikey · December 29, 2011 4:38AM

Not a whole lot to recommend that one. Even though I really like green toning as a general rule,
this coin says "walk away" to me.

Steve27 · December 29, 2011 5:14AM

The pictures looked juiced to me (checkout the color of the slab), and the coin still isn't very attractive.

braddick · December 30, 2011 1:11AM

<< I personally do not find it attractive but what is more disturbing is that someone paid $177.50 for it. >>

That would be me.

More disturbing is the amount of my snipe I had in play.

I am drawn to whacky stuff. Fun for me, not so much for my wife when she attempts to cash it all in after my demise.

ambro51 · December 30, 2011 1:16AM

I like it. the reverse shows a natural pattern, old bag toning.

not bad at all.

Peacemonkey · December 30, 2011 2:10AM

I was tracking that auction because I own this:

coinman23885 · December 31, 2011 5:38AM

I'm sorry, but I don't like it at all. The luster looks muted by the color, and I'm not a fan of the toning myself.

braddick · December 31, 2011 6:16AM

<< I'm sorry, but I don't like it at all. The luster looks muted by the color, and I'm not a fan of the toning myself. >>

Never a need to apologize. All opinions welcome, even if the vast majority are negative toward something I find positive.
It's what I enjoy most about these forums.
I learn something new just about every single day because collectors and dealers here know they're safe in rendering an opinion and judgement.

Manorcourtman · December 31, 2011 6:41AM

reminds my of advanced PVC.

bosco5041 · December 31, 2011 7:18AM

I sure would not pay extra for the toning on it.

coinkat · December 31, 2011 7:31AM

The main thing that really bothers me is the MS60 grade- that is rarely used and I am not sure why 60 was used here- other than they did not like the color
