One collector's poison is another collector's passion - a Toned Peace Dollar

FC57Coins

I went to the Chattanooga Show today - lots of activity, although most of it was tire kicking from what I saw. Anyway, I'll get into more detail about it tomorrow. I spent most of the day hunting down neat darkside stuff - but I did run into a coin, which, I liked a lot because of the abundance of blue hues on the obverse, but a friend told me that I was an idiot to pay what I did for it. That may be the case, but I liked her. What are your thoughts?

Depends on what you paid for it

Tassa

I did not call you an idiot.














Well, not exactly.

Very nice, Frank. I can't wait to see what darkside coins you picked up.

The colors are very impressive, but even more so is the strike - nice detail -pretty unusual on those Peace Dollars isn't it?

Blue is my favorite coin color.......sounds like your friend was attempting to talk you out of the coin so he could mop up behind you

post that show report pronto! as I was unable to attend, I'm anxious to hear some news.

It is adequate.

I typically don't like Toned Peace dollars, but in this case.......I think the coin is a real winner.....are you going to get it slabbed????? I am assuming it's raw suince you didn't mention a grade.

I need to tag along with you to coin shows......you've obviously got a good eye

Hmmmmm, a blueberry buck. I kinda like it. If you get tired of it, I`ll take it from you.

Oh - it's already graded - it resides in a PCGS MS64 holder - the smudge on the eagle's leg is from the holder.

Frank: I think that your new Peace Dollar looks nice, however I personally would not pay much of a premium over MS-64 Greysheet for that kind of toning...

Well Stuart - I did pay quite a bit over grey sheet on it - But I had never seen one of these before with this kind of color - and I liked it. Now mind you I didn't go to the poor house on this. Most of you who know me know that to me a couple of hundred dollars is big money. Let's just say that I liked the piece and I bought it with funds that were withing my means.

Very nice Peace!

stman

That's a decent one Frank. I need to encourage you since you're starting to post somewhat "Real" coins lately.

BTW, don't listen to them there Greysheet chasers.

Myqqy

I like it, and would have paid a premium for it...... Nice pick up!!

oldcameoproofsguy

Nice one Frank!

Stuart

Frank: I figured that you wouldn't pay crazy money for the coin. As long as you enjoy it, that's what matters most

zenny

- that's my kind of poison

well struck, lustrous and colorful

what's not to like?

BigD5

I like it.

Virtually any toned Peace dollar is worth a premium. That color is ok, could/would grow on me. I think my cut off point would be $80 as a 64. I would let her stay in the case for more than that amount.

What'd ya pay?

(It's a '23-P correct?)
