    Personally, I think $1,000 is way too much for this coin.

    And that's the truth!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Maybe. But how was it done?

    And it will go unsold, consignor's buy back bid has kicked in.

    if i was making AT coins and got it slabbed by pcgs.. i sure in the heck
    would not have an insane buy back bid.. i would want it to sell!!!

    i do not know of the coin is at or nt.. but the current owner must
    truly think they have something special and paid well for it?

    interesting post.

    I wouldn't pay even close to $1K for the coin.

    I like it--- but not that much. image

    While I might concur that $1,000 is too much for that piece, I also wonder how long before it or a similar piece becomes available. I think it is NT myself and a spectacular example of a nice modern coin to put away. Just think it will take a long time to be in the green on it at that price.

  • I like the coin........but I wouldn't pay anywhere near $1000 bucks unless it's an MS68 or MS69? image

    Is that coin Platinum? Boy are people crazy!!!!
  • Looks a bit like Crisco Oil in a flat cast iron skillet toning to me-

    not worth 1 large.

    i'd go fiddy bucks for it.
  • I think I could find more interesting ways to spend $1,000. Toned moderns just don't do it for me.

    I disagree that it is AT. I don't think it's $1000 cool though.

    I put it on my watch list last week, and was shocked tonight to see current bid


    looks like very high reserve and did not sell

    I was thinking about $50-$100 cool, myself

    << <i>I was thinking about $50-$100 cool, myself >>



    I was thinking more like $5-$10 worth of cool.

  • i read these post and laugh to myself somewhat.


    i agree 100% that its no where near $1000, but it definetly worth a few hundred.

    go to any major show and look for choice ikes or even error ikes. theyre not out there. i know their modern, but that doesnt take away from their true scarcity in high grades, or 65's without bagmarks and other distracting features. its definetly nt, but not worth the grand .

    one day ill be smiling at what i bought for melt... remember this post...

  • My guess is it's another nucular buy-back bid/reserve to be this high so early in today's action. The reverse is sweet.

  • Been hanging at $575 for a while now, so looks like the lucky new owner will get it for $600 plus the "juice", a horrible phrase IMO. Anyhoo, it might be AT, anything's possible, although every single nicely toned coin ever to appear on this site has had someone crying AT!. But I think it's incumbent upon the AT! criers to explain how the concentric rings on the reverse were created. Otherwise they might just be full of it. Again.

  • Album or holder toning. Accelerated, but not technically AT I believe.

    No way it's $1,000 cool.

    Just think what a beautiful 19th Century coin or coins you could get for that sort of money and it/they would even have original surfaces.

    It looks like a good way to get a tax write off to me.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    The coin that is subject of this thread is worth about $30 tops, in my opinion. Any amount spent above that is pretty much a waste of money.

  • BECOKABECOKA Posts: 16,961 ✭✭✭
    AT or not it has a nice look.

    That said, I am not too much into these so it would be nice for $1 plus the price of slabbing and shipping and that's about it.
  • I'll take much less than $1,000.00 for this gold.

    Glad you're so sure because that means you can tell us how it was done, right?

  • It's got a pretty interesting look to it. I wouldn't pay anything close to $1000 for it. There are much cooler coins for $1000 IMO.

    A little dry ice, or more than likely done with a vapor change system with a small head at the center of the coin, you can change the temperature according to the heat applied.

  • RayboRaybo Posts: 5,330 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm sure of it, cold was applied on the reverse and heat was applied on the obverse.

    Just look at the results......anyone else see it?

    The deal must not have gone through! Perhaps it was returned with some buyers "remorse"?

    It is AT... hot/cold process (as already mentioned)... no way would it tone naturally in that pattern. Make one yourself before you pay a grand for someone else's work... takes minutes. Cheers, RickO
