Pricing coins with Monster toned reverses

Bruggs

I purchased a couple of beautifully toned 1957 Washington's recently. The obverse has a hint of tone around the rim but the reverse is something special on both of them. Was wondering if these coins are valued less than they would be if the obverse was toned instead of the reverse? I'm really not a toning lover and the main reason I bought them was they both have the type "B" reverse. Just curious. Anyone?

Thanks.

I would say one half the premium of the obverse toned coin. In otherwords,
If the white coin=100%
and the toned obv.= 150%
then ther rev toned=125%.

I hope it helps.

I would easily pay 2x for a nice toned rev. I dont like toned obv.'s that have a dead guy on them.

cant really tell unless i see the coin sight seen but if they are monster toned reverses i would say that they have a good premium and maybe especially so even more with the current popularity of the wash quarter series in unc!!

but i guess you would need to go to a show and see what other major players/dealers in washingtones thought and then if you put a price on the coin and there was interest and a quick sale then you know you priced it too cheap!!??
but i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the market is fickle and changes quickly as todays prince is tomorrows dog and visa versa i guess you pays your money and takes your chances

also if you sell something no matter what it is

always move on as it is water under the bridge so to speak

and if you ever figure out the above and the answer to your question in a specific/exact way please contact me as i would like an answer myself!!
