MS68 2000 SAE Rainbow Monster

cosmicdebris

Just got back from NFC a coin dealer on SR434 in Winter Springs Florida.

He has a Monster toned MS68 2000 SAE that is just gorgeous. Only the Obverse is toned in wild yellows and blue the reverse just shows a hit of rim toning. He wanted $250.00 for it!

Needless to say I did not walk out with it.

mine is a little more expensive

I have quite a few of these. I bought them all on ebay. I did not pay over $40 for any of them. Most were raw for under $15 and I had them slabbed. They sure are pretty.

Here are a few of mine that are slabbed and graded.







These ones have lots of shine. The pictures came out kind of dull.







This is the only one I got back that was AT.



Hope you enjoyed!

Nice rainbow of coins. Did not pay over $40.00!!!!!!!! How long ago? Put one up on eBay now and see what it goes for.

Lori

They have all been in the last 2 months. I have bought some that pictures are not the greatest and the coin turn out to be great. Scans do not pick up colors very well so take a chance, you might get surprised.

I have noticed that these are going for a lot of money now. I am keeping mine. I like them.

If it's in a PCGS holder and the colors are as you described, he probably purchased mine off of eBay within the last three months.
I believe it's the only one PCGS has graded that has 100% obverse color (that's also MS68). It's a pretty coin, but I have lately been questioning the authenticity of some of these- holdered or not.

I don't mean to be rude, but how the heck does a coin do this naturally in a year, year and a half? I know this whole AT topic has been beat into the dirt (at least in the few weeks I've been hanging around) and I try to read many of the threads and I must admit to a certain fascination with some of the colors displayed but I don't feel as if I understand toning any better now than I did before. And I certainly couldn't tell an AT coin from a natural. But my gut says there's somethin' not right about this.

How can these tone like this in just a short period of time? I have mercury dimes and half dollars 50 years old that have no toning in them.....

looks like someone lit a match under it and let the sulfur do it's work. I'm no expert and cannot understand that rapid a natural toning on anything that has had protection around it ,such as the box it came in. I have a 86 in the box that has no sign of Tarnish on it after 17 years

Some of those cheap plastic snap holders with the card board inserts can do some of this toning. But not all of it.

i am not defending the one you pictured but pure silver tones differently than 90% silver.

Lori

That one is AT. I stated that above the picture. The rest look pretty natural.

Oops, I thought your AT comment referred to the coin above the comment rather than below. My mistake.
