Seller claims to have a backstory to it. My question is, do you think our host would find this Market Acceptable and would slab this one?

Maybe, but might get a “details” due to environmental damage. I’m thinking it wouldn’t get a “questionable color” though
Mr_Spud
Why did you refer to the coin as “monster toned”? Edited: That strikes me as click bait and no, I don’t think it would straight-grade.

Backstory irrelevant. I don't see it grading.

My money would be on “Details- Environmental Damage”
Also, the eagles leg has a deep gouge on the reverse, and I find the toning to be way too dark for my liking. It seems like the sellers “backstory” is the reason he priced it the way he did, but I have a feeling that if you went to sell that coin to another dealer they might offer you 10% of that price if you were lucky.

$30 for the coin, $270 for the backstory. Hard pass.
That Peace dollar reminds me of this Jan 2, 2023 Coin World article.

Slab? Yes.
Slab in a straight-grade holder. No. Goodness no. Even if it did, I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for it.
Terrible seller’s images and probably questionable color designation from our host.

Send it to PCGS in the leather wallet so they know it’s legit
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

I can say this with complete certainty that coin is not @ricko APROVED

That's some pretty ugly toning. How much oil did they rub into that leather pouch before putting the coin in?

Nope.
Uh, no.
Nice strike. Too bad it’s been ruined.
Smitten with DBLCs.
Me thinks that pouch is but a prop. Implying that neatsfoot oil toned that coin?

Good morning
I’m certain it will slab.😀
🎶 shout shout, let it all out 🎶
Leave as is and just price cost plus.
Odds of it being the OP’s coin are close to 0%.

It looks like one picked up from walkup seller at show - VF but much darker. Dipping it helped. This one more border line. Maybe it tarnished in that leather pouch. Seller said he kept a bunch of them in his garage ( Lake Jackson, TX). Garage prob got 100 plus In summer. Just depends on one’s taste….whether keep as is. would not spend money sending in. That would buy nice Pcgs slabbed MS69 ASE.
I think you should stop using the term monster toned in every thread you start.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I don't think it will straight grade, I don't think it's attractive, and I don't know how anyone could classify this as monster toning.
The same way coins like that sometimes get labelled as "rainbow toning"???
True, but when that occurs, it’s usually the seller who’s doing it.

You mean... like this?

Especially if the toning is leather induced...
Several years ago I bought a collection with a Morgan dollar in a leather wallet like this one. It had similar toning and it would not straight grade. I cannot remember what the details said.
Not only no but hell no. That one's far worse than even the taco bell examples. VoMiT!
It's all about ebay with this poster. His threads usually seek feedback about ebay coins he selects for attention and then never posts again in the threads he creates.
"Got a flaming heart, can't get my fill"
For the record, while the exceptions are probably few, he hasn’t used the word “monster” in every thread he’s started and he has posted again to threads he’s created.

No and the term "monster" is being used very loosely! But to each his own

Maybe we should consider that sometimes monsters are scary and ugly
I would take it for $30.

Coinage descriptions are always in the eye of the beholder. Right or wrong that's how they see it.
For $300, do you get the leather pouch? Just sayin'

"Monster toned" suggests beautifully toned. From the images I would not categorize this as beautifully toned.
does it matter? if you buy that you would already be buried and sending somewhere would bury purchaser even more.
I would not call the toning monster. Most Peace Dollars tone ugly, and the example is better than most Peace Dollars with splotchy toning. The Peace Dollar may have naturally toned in the wallet, but that does not mean PCGS is going to straight grade the coin. The seller's asking price is already in the range of a nice toned Peace Dollar in a PCGS holder with a straight grade.
I don't believe that sellers who hype coins, necessarily "see it" (them) the way they describe it (them).
