Rainbow toned PCI silver eagles in PCGS slabs?

Zoins

I have a few PCI silver eagle toners and love the way they look with the rainbow pastel colors.

I've started to notice a number of these coins (with this look) in PCGS slabs.

• Do you prefer PCI toned silver eagles in PCGS slabs or PCI slabs?
• Do they continue to tone in PCGS slabs?
• To cross these to PCGS, is it better to crack them out first or not?

I do not prefer tarnished coins in or out of any holder.... JMO....In case there were any lingering doubts here... Cheers, RickO

ricko, I realize responding to every thread is your thing but this (and every other time you make the same comment) is pretty clearly a violation of rule 5.

For me, I own one of these in a PCGS holder. I think they look better that way, and are presumably more stable although I know of some that have continued to tone even in the PCGS plastic.

Depends. If you're keeping it and it looks good and you want to stop or I should say heavily slow the progression then get it in a PCGS slab, if you want to let the colors (i.e. ricko tarnish) develop further leave her in! If you want to sell now, just sell as is.

PCI toning develops in a unique fashion with a unique color spectrum and graders know what it is in most cases so crack or cross, your choice. I wouldn't sent to ATS though. They tend to bodybag market acceptable color so often I sometimes think ricko might be their finalizer

Ricko will come around on the toned coins at some point.

Rule 5? Anonymous never forgives?
