NGC's graded only one 2000-P MS-65* Sac...a toner and here it is.

The STAR designation would be stretching it on most coins with this look, but since Sac's start out kinda lacking in the eye-appeal dept. to begin with, well maybe it's understandable...what do you all think?

wow - I bet that lady has some stories to tell (like where she has been and what she has done in the last 3 years)


It is definitely interesting - do you know any history?

If someone told me it came from tonecoin easybake oven I would not doubt it -

NGC must have some idea and probably seen stuff like it before - otherwise they would have AT bodybagged it (wouldn't they?)

30 years from now I suspect there are going to be some awesome toned sacs. Does anyone think that someday that Sac's will have a color designation like Lincolns/Indians?

Manganese Brass over a copper core

they will surely tone in a different manner than anything else we have ever seen

Young lady looks like she could

use a close shave.

spy88

Thats 4 years worth of growth, Bear! Just about right for a "lady"!

Bear

I really shouldnt complain, she is starting to

look like a bear herself.

clackamas - according to the redbook, composition: pure copper core with outer layers of manganese brass (alloy contains .770 copper, .120 zinc, .070 manganes, and .040 nickel)

so yes to your composition but also has some nickel


the redbook also says the mint produced some at west point in 1999 dated 2000W made from 22-karat gold - has anyone heard of or seen one of these? what kind of value do they have?



uofa1285 - I have to say, your dollar is the best SAC I have yet seen (although I am not actively looking at them)

The 2000-w's were flown into space aboard columbia and then shown at a few coin shows and a congresional event if im not mistaken. Then most of them were distroyed.

Here is a nice reverse toner in a PCGS MS65 Holder. It was an end of roll coin.




Obverse here

will these toned Sacs continue to tone to complete brown? I've left one in the sunlight for over a year now -- dining room table -- when there is sun (it's winter), and it seems to be going brown.
