Thanks for your opinions!

The pictures make it tough to make out how colorful they are.... but I bet you've got some real winners there! Seems like you got them for a pretty good price too....

Probably. The color's look like they'll be nice, and they were only $28 each. But, the grades are low... they could be dogs under the toning, or be very lacklustre. MS60 is a very difficult grade to get, and even MS61 is, to an extent, as well.

All I have to say is you're lucky I didn't see that auction.

Let's see, that was $28 a coin.

This qualifies for the YOU SUCK award.

Cool, thanks Eric. I think I might even see some textile toned rainbows in there too!

You did good, I had that one on my watch list and wasn't around when it closed. I bet they are better than the images indicate.

I think you got a good deal.

I also think the seller would have realized a better (higher) price if he'd

1) put "NGC" in the title, and/or
2) used nice digital photography instead of scans.

I'll be interested in the almost black one with the hint of rainbow at 9 o'clock

You got that right. I was involved in a deal a couple of years ago involving an original bag of 83-Os, and I can tell just from the patterns what those coins will look like. Had this seller used images that showed the true color, that lot would have easily gone over $1000, even though the majority are graded 60 and 61.

Thanks guys, this is a fun one to win for sure. Just enough scavenger hunt in it to satisfy my lottery cravings, you know? Already slabbed NT Morgans toners for close to sheet has realy pumped me up for my FIRST out of state coin show (FUN)! I am leaving in the morning. Wish me luck!

Well, I do take pride in considering my images of crescents being among the best.

Looks like a good deal to me.

Some of those are pretty & cool looking.
WOW!! $28 per coin!! The toned market must really be dead nowdays. That can't cover the cost of the coins & grading fees & ebay fees and he sure as *L* aint making no $$ from his shipping charges. Shipping is $2.22 per coin. Yeah Randy is a cool dealer.
