I had the opportunity to buy-in early on the release of the original Marty hoard of toned Jeffersons. I'm going to be selling these soon as
I'm chasing some gold additions to my type set, but thought they were worth sharing before they find a new owner. Both are certified
PR69 by PCGS (highest grade given to these monster toned Jeffs).
The first is a fairly typical - electric blue & purple.
The second is more interesting IMO. It is an underlay of bright yellow, with an overlay of pink. If you look at it straight on, you see
orange. (colors that are displayed in the first pic). But if you tilt it just a bit, it looks bright yellow (see first reverse pic), then a wash of
pink on top (second reverse pic). That second reverse is not a reflection, but the actual colors on the coin.

I've got a small stack of 10 of those babies. I'm hanging onto mine for awhile though.

Pics are displayed. I've heard about people with this problem before in their IE. I think you need to dump your cache, but others can probably give better advice.

<< <i>Marty hoard of toned Jeffersons >>
Is that's what they are being called? Not to rain on anyone's parade, but didn't PCGS crack down and refused to grade these Jeffersons for awhile because they were afraid that they were AT?

<< <i>These typically sell for about $300 each in PR69 on E-Bay >>
I am pretty sure there has been no pr69's sold on Ebay with this toning. I know for a fact that some graded pr66-pr68 have sold for as high as $325 and through a certain seller on Ebay that comes here once in a while.
I believe the value of the pr69's to be at least $400.
They are very pretty but sadly not natural. I have a few of martys along with a few others from the doc himself...pretty, but not worth the hype given...you wont see more of those hit pcgs slabs, so pop is safe...but only due to certain circumstances.

care to share who was identified?
