    classic! Don, not only is that one screaming your name, you can still smell the toning chemicals that was used on it! (SNIFF.....Ahhhhhhh......)

    Thanks for pointing that one out David. I'll give it a shot but I fear it may go for moon money.

    edited to add: Holy World Coins Batman! That is one hugh darkside (Greyside) auction for TT.

    ... and about $449 more than it's worth, minus the obvious chemical enhancement. What was PCGS thinking? image

    It was more like "take your coin doctor friend to work" day. image

    Seriously, what could make a Cu/Ni coin tone like that? Heat?

    Someone shat upon the coin and the resulting methane did the rest...

    Edit: After juice and shipping, the buyer waste... err, "spent" $596.

    In this case it appears to be more than one fool to get it the $$ that high image

    I recall buying a VIP/Satin from Spink @ about 600 when the pound was more reasonable a couple of years ago but ~600 USD for this makes me wonder if this was really a sale???
