What would a toner collection be without some pastels?

Germany 1 Mark, 1914 D. Guess the grade.

    I wonder if this isn't a picture that shouldn't have been juiced a little in photoshop (or equivilent) in order to show the pastel tones. I can see pink on the right side of some vertical lines and on a claw-must look outstanding in hand! Because others said 66 I'll chance 67-it looks immaculate.image

    I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the colors haven't been "juiced". The pinks really are that vibrant in hand. The only difference from coin in hand is that it's not quite as dark (my lighting was a hair off).

    In that slab, it's a 67, possibly 68.

    Well, the first guesses were on the mark.

    It's an MS66 in an ANACS holder. I believe it to be comparable to some of the NGC 67s I have.

    This series and the 1/2 Mark series are a blast to collect for several reasons:
    1. They're readily findable in MS65 and above, as well as proof

    2. They're prone to colorful toning.

    3. They won't break the bank (key dates notwithstanding). I have half a dozen or more certified MS65-67 pieces, and the most expensive of the bunch ran about $50.
