Toning Experts: Should this one go to NGC for the STAR, or PCGS?

braddick · July 17, 2004 5:38AM

I'm debating on sending this to either PCGS or NGC. I think it may be STAR worthy with NGC and their white holders show off color better. Then again, PCGS is slightly more appreciated.
What would you do?

Obverse:

Reverse:

It may not be slabbed by PCGS.

ziggy29 · July 17, 2004 5:42AM

I don't understand how there can be so many modern coins with more "monster" toning than most proof or mint state coins made 100+ years ago.

How much of this so-called monster toning on moderns really *is* natural, anyway?

It would more than likely get the body bag from either in my opinion.

Edited to add: ACG might give it a DCAM69*

Good Luck Pat - I dunno if it'll holder bud!

stman · July 17, 2004 5:52AM

Hey "If you like it and it's pretty, that's all that matters." eh?

Edit to add.....

braddick · July 17, 2004 5:53AM

<< Hey "If you like it and it's pretty, that's all that matters." eh? >>

Yes... but I'd like it even more wrapped in plastic.

eagle7 · July 17, 2004 6:46AM

And the answer is! Neither PCGS or NGC. Why not? Because it aint going into one of their peices of plastic. Even if it was real, which I dont think it is, they would be too fearful to slab it. Save your money and be happy with an Andy Warhol original fifty cent coin!

airplanenut · July 17, 2004 7:24AM

Pat, I'll give you 99.9999999999999999999999% odds that the coin doesn't make it into NGC or PCGS. The colors look all wrong, and it looks like it was done with chemicals and possibly some heat.

BB no doubt

FatMan · July 17, 2004 7:31AM

AT all the way.

Shamika · July 17, 2004 7:36AM

I'll buy you lunch if that thing slabs.

steelheadbob · July 17, 2004 7:36AM

BB all the way. The color on the reverse reminds me of a slice of Ham or Roast Beef that just went bad.

I would go with ngc, at least then you might still get the star on the body bag!

100proof1957 · July 17, 2004 8:43AM

Me thinks its a BB

stman · July 17, 2004 8:45AM

Heh, I'm debating whether Braddick is serious. Knowing him it's a crap-shoot.

jcping · July 17, 2004 9:01AM

Most likely, PCGS will BB it. Don't know what NGC will do

ksteelheader · July 17, 2004 9:06AM

Life is merely a series of choices. Go for it! I would! No chances taken equals no results!!!!

Cladiator · July 17, 2004 9:09AM

Something is wrong, it's been 3 1/2 hours and Russ hasn't responded to this thread yet

XpipedreamR · July 17, 2004 9:15AM

Sorry, that toning is as artificial as Pamela Anderson's...chest

tmot99 · July 17, 2004 9:17AM

<< I'll buy you lunch if that thing slabs. >>

Careful, someone is sure to slab it. I may even put it in a CoinWorld slab for him with a grade of MS69*.

My star designation stands for AT

stman · July 17, 2004 9:19AM

<< Sorry, that toning is as artificial as Pamela Anderson's...chest >>

Heh, but don't ya think that's comparing apples and ahhh never mind.

Check out that look in her eyes.

Bear · July 17, 2004 10:07AM

Even in the rheummy eyes of an old bear, Pamela is..............well...........rather.........spectacular.

In the coin hobby and Industry, there must exist a great deal of trust and confidence to

stabilize the coin market and prices. Thing that add to that stability are the 1st tier, third party

grading services, ethical , long established coin companies, both large and small, Forums of ethical

collectors and dealers such as we enjoy here and an efficient system of auction houses and cyber autions and sales.

What is detrimental to the hobby is the presence of coin doctoring, exhuberent grading and the continuing element

of individuals that participate and condone practices that are less then savory.

While the by words are still" Buyer beware , caution and education", this is still a hobby. It is supposed to be fun and fun requires

elements of joy, learning, friendship , adventure , excitement, satisfaction and even.....dare I say it,........gasp.....profit.

Things are better now then they were in the 50s, but it is still a bit of the wild west out there in coin land, for the inexperienced.

I think that the creation of a toned coin club, is an important step to educate, inform and eventually play a role in limiting the

destructive artificial enhancement of our coinage. Progress is being made, slow, but progress.

tmot99 · July 17, 2004 12:18PM

I do love busts....

bust coins. what? what did you think I meant?

fountainheadgold · July 17, 2004 12:38PM

AT, no doubt about it

lava · July 17, 2004 12:43PM

Braddick, I am suprised you think it will slab. Sorry to say I am with evreyone else, I don't think NGC PCGS or ANACS would slab it. If you are going to take a chance on artificial stuff, I'd go with P. Anderson. She would not slab either, but who cares.

Sorry to the ladies here.

airplanenut · July 17, 2004 12:46PM

<< I don't think NGC PCGS or ANACS would slab it >>

ANACS would... they'd label it AT. I'd bet even PCI would red-label it

coingame2000 · July 17, 2004 12:53PM

Gotta throw in my vote for AT too...

Mike

coingame2000 · July 17, 2004 12:55PM

braddick,

My wife thinks it's AT too -- and she's getting pretty good at calling 'em.

stman · July 17, 2004 12:57PM

I think Braddick is yanking everybody's chain on this one.

nankraut · July 17, 2004 1:01PM

Helloooo Braddick. Are you there?

braddick · July 17, 2004 1:07PM

Ok, I get the subtle impression that PCI may be the way to go (even with their RED Label).
