Anyone here Blaine? Looks like some decent toners...

Quite a beautiful piece. One of the things I like to do is evaluate the toning v. prices realized so I can get a basic (very basic) idea of what my toners are worth and what I may expect to pay if I want to acquire more . . .

I spun through the others at the main site. Many are quite average -- some are not.

Some nice toners in the group... and then some really nice toners in the group.

I bought one, anyone else?

I bid on this coin, it was cheap at the time ($550). I suspect in hand the whole lot is much more impressive and vibrant than the images show, it would be nice next time a toner lot comes up if they take a few more images.

There were some nice toners in that lot, that green one went for a decent sum. I did manage to pick up this one for what I think is a decent price:

I've only won one other coin from GC (great outfit too!) and the coin looked better in hand than the images. I'm thinking everyone will like these coins if they won them.

Another Toner that caught my eye and was under bidder on was the 1917 type 2 NGC MS 66 FH. The Great Collections image was dramatically different than the NGC image, I felt if the coin was somewhere in between it would be very nice.
