I'm not 100% familiar with toner prices. I just had this graded and it came back at MS66. What would the value on something like this be? I posted a link to a video I took of it before I had it graded.

Not a MONSTER Toner IMO, but a nice toned coin with a nice grade, Congrats.
I agree-not a Monster by any means, but very nice piece and probably worth a premium. Bid is $450, so I would not be surprised to see a 2x value. Have a look at Heritage prices. Surprisingly, not many toners out there for that date. A flashier one sold in 2021 for just over 1k.

Sounds like you have a baseline for what you believe it to be worth.
BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.
When it comes to toners beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you really want to find out what it's worth put it in an auction.
It's a nice looking coin BTW. You'll probably fetch a decent price for it.

An attractive coin- not going to handicap a value

Cool and the toning is pleasant to look at 👍
Only the market knows what it is worth at any given time.
That is a nice even toning. It will bring a premium. Auction to maximize your results.

That’s not a monster toner. It has a lot of color but the colors are not bright or vibrant, and the luster doesn’t look great. (Of course, it’s possible the Trueview is not flattering or representative.). That said, it is toned on both sides, which collectors often like, and it’s a slightly better date with color. I would guess it would sell for about double MS66 prices, so $800-$1000 would be my range.
Ownership adds a point as they say, nice but no monster
I’ll also echo that it’s not a monster nor vibrant enough (if the picture is accurate) for a huge premium. It is still a somewhat harder date for toning plus a higher grade, so a 1.5x-2x premium over a generic piece would not be surprising.
Ballpark estimate: $1000

Congrats on the result. A very attractive coin. It used to be that true views exaggerated the color but lately they've swung in the opposite direction. So I bet this coin will bring a pretty penny at auction. Figuratively of course.
With the obvious stipulation that you get good photos!
Value? A Dollar, says so right on the back.

Get a real world estimate - Shop it around the bourse at a show and see what they say.
My wager $450-$530. If $1000 offer, take the money and run.
