Do you consider the toning on this Barber attractive?

    As it appears in that image, I'd have to go with a no. But, Heritage is sometimes not very good at accurately portraying coins.

    The reverse is better than the obverse.

    Pennies make dollars, and dollars make slabs!

    not the prettiest I seem but a 64 barb has to be admired no matter what the toning looks like.

    I'm not a fan of the toning, but mostly because it isn't uniform on the obverse. The image is hard to judge. Might look nicer in person.

    I like the luster dripping out, but the toning seems a bit helter skelter. I personally like those colors, but with the toning proportionally darker in the outer devices and in the stars. Now that is cool!

    It's very ugly. Splotchy brown is ugly no matter how you look at it.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Heritage is notorious for horrible imaging. Judging from what I have bought from them in the last year, that very well may be a very nice coin.

    The current bid seems fully priced out for the quality which isn't that bad especially the reverse.

    The surface quality looks above average for a 64.

    The luster on the obverse appears to be full, but has a washed out appearance.

    Natural toning is not allways pretty but the coin does not appear badly for the grade of 64,but i would refrain from bidding it higher than it is if your considering bidding on it. Les

    I dunno K6AZ. In their description they admit it's brown & ugly on both sides.

    Dog, get your glasses fixed. I can't find the word "ugly" in the Heritage description! image

    Maybe someone dipped it before and didn't wash it correctly, the reverse shield is weak so it might 63 on the way back-------------------BigEimage

    for me from the scan and i would need to see the coin in person to make a better accessment

    the coin looks dipped stripped blast white

    with an improper rinse and then ugly secondary toning that formed where the coin was not properly rinsed mottled splotchy secondary toning

    all the telltail no brainer signs


    a do not buy me coin

    unless you can get it for a price then immediately if not sooner flip it for a profit but since i am not a dealer i could never do this as i could never represent the coin as something i would like to own or be proud to sell

    i am glad i am not a dealer as i would be out of business soon as i would only sell coins that walked and talked and spoke to me only monsters that knocked me for a loop or at the very least super great coins

    and then how many of those do you ever see for sale? let alone are able to buy? very few!! and then if i bought it i would not be able to part with it


    i am glad i am not a dealer


    sincerely michael
