    Since it's bidding at $340 now, I'd say it's not over

    Ugh, and that is not even pretty toning. Rubbed or scratched toning detracts IMO. Could be a shill bidder out there pumping the price up.

    I think it is quite attractive, and better than the picture--rainbow on the bottom of the obverse; endroll on the reverse... I think it'll be more green with better lustre than the picture shows...

    Ageed, it's nice, especially for a Peace. I'd go maybe $70 or $75.

    $340+ ? Pass....

    I'll bet that looks really nice in person, although $340 is a tad steep.

    That just doesn't seem right. But you see enough of these super high priced toners that it no longer raises an eyebrow. Probably pocket change for someone.

    Nice, original toning *may* be worth a premium, but not 20x the value of a white coin, IMO. Yikes. I never thought I'd see the day an MS-61 1922-P Peace dollar hit $100, let alone over $300.

    It's "ok", but 340 bucks?

    That's crazy.

    Definitely over $100 coin. But I'm not sure how far I'd go on this one. But it sure does look nice.

    While I too like the toning -- this price does seem even a bit ridiculous to me. Since I specialize in toned Peace $ I've seen prices across the Board for these coins. From $29 on Ebay for better grades, lesser toning to even nicely toned AU Peace $ that bring strong money. However, the most I'd be willing to go on this one is probably $100 or so. I do think Jeremy's right that coin will look even better in hand.

    I like the toning. Nicely toned Peace dollars are very hard to find.

    That original Teletrade dollar shows "not sold" now...does that mean there was a $340+ reserve?

    To me, it has always been a determination as to the TYPE of toning. It is all subjective, but any frenzy over toned coins just for the sake of any coloration, hopefully is over. There will always be a strong market for well-toned beauties.

    I think people get too hung up on multiples. People pay 10x for an MS70 vs. MS69, but if you pay 10x for a lovely toned coin, you're crazy. To non-collectors, we're all crazy since we'll spend $1000 on a $1 coin--that's 1000x it's "value" (that is, it's value to non-collectors). In the same way, that toned coin that's worth $1000 to a collector of toned coins is worth $50 to someone who doesn't collect them. Heck, if people will pay millions for a canvas that's painted solid blue ("art"), I think toning lovers are downright sane paying a few thou for some, essentially, colorful rust.

    OK...instead of simply ttting this thread, I'll be a little more clear.


    This thread was about an average toned Peace dollar that had huge bids in a Teletrade auction. Now it reads "Not sold"

    Could someone, perhaps one of the original posters, comment on what this might mean on Teletrade before I

    Well, I guess this coin was passed on...that's what I'm trying to figure out considering it had $340+ bids.

  • XpipedreamRXpipedreamR Posts: 8,059 ✭✭
    Look, people...the whole point of this thread was "Wow, look at the ordinary peace dollar with a little toning that's been bid up to $340"


    Now, all I want to know is how it could be "not sold"
