JUST DISCOVERED - FINEST EVER MONSTER TONED PEACE DOLLAR !!!

Just discovered in the hoard of a 1920’s Baltimore banker. The banker’s granddaughter has made available for public display this FANTASTIC brilliant uncirculated PGS 1925 MS-68.83 XXX Peace Dollar wrapped in a 3" x 3" onion skin envelope. The eccentric banker never trusted banks and kept his hoard in the library of his home where he also kept goats as pets. The old misanthrope hid his silver gold and silver hoard under the floor boards of his library, the same room where his pet goats roamed freely, eating, sleeping, chewing, defecating, and keeping the crazy old eccentric amused and happy. The library in the banker’s decaying mansion has been locked for over 60 years and just recently his only heir, a granddaughter, who is a professional mud wrestler, accidentally discovered the hoard while cleaning out wheel barrel loads of old decayed goat dung. Named the “Old Goat Hoard” the Peace Dollar is the first coin of this significant and historical numismatic discovery to be made available for public viewing and auction. The coin is graded MS-68.63 XXX (the XXX rating is the highest given for eye appeal by the elusive Pushkin Grading Service – PGS).

One famous dealer who is the owner of the world’s rarest Plug Nickel was overheard to comment “this ain’t no widget!”.

Certificates of Authenticity with real Gold Seals testify to the authenticity of the coin and it’s history (remember, “if you don’t know the history, you don’t know the coin”). This amazing Peace Dollar will be available for viewing at the Baltimore, MD office of the estate’s attorneys, Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe, Esqs., LLC.

A team of renowned numismatists, chemists, metallurgists and goat herders have examined the coin and they agree that the color is the product of an almost impossible to duplicate series of oxidation reactions that have only been seen before on certain ancient coins discovered in the mountains of Greece. The estate’s appraisers have tentatively appraised the coin at $1,550,725. 35 which includes an estimated 92% buyer’s premium.

    That's not a nick, it's a love bite on the die.

    Looks like a few nice dings on an MS68 coin going there...

    Well, I guess goat turds are now a new way to naturally tone a coin.

    You have to put a lot of weight

    to the goat herders opinion. They know

    what to look for.

    I don't have any goats, but I do have cats. I'm gon'na bury some coins in the litter box and see what happens. I knew those dam cats were good for somthing, other than eating and sleeping all day. Watch out for "Tom's Cat Turd Toners". A free turd with each coin. imageimage

    Yea, but haven't you heard? Nicks don't count when the coin is toned even it the coin has received a grade of MS-66 or higher. That grading standard was made official when I commented on the last "monster toned Peace Dollar," which has since been judged "AT." One "expert” informed the world that I was naive and ignorant before he ended up with egg on his face.

    All this reminds me of the famous Adlai Stevenson quote, “Eggheads unite! You have nothing to lose but your yokes.”

    We could paraphrase by saying, “Grading experts unite! We have nothing to lose but the admiration of hype masters and toning junkies.”

    I'm allergic to onions. Can you find one with exactly the same toning in an onion-skin-free paper?

    The thread was not meant to make light of anyone's misfortune, it was an attempt to inform folks about a significant numismatic discovery. However, if this attempt to be informative offends anyone in any way, may the offended person please accept my humble and sincere apologies. I will PM a personal apology to anyone who privately requests it.image
