Hey Crazy4Coins! What became of the monster toned type set from a few years back?

Connecticoin · April 2, 2015 8:49AM

The only image I could find from the set:

what a gorgeous slq there

Nice quarter!

david3142 · April 2, 2015 10:27AM

I'm working on a toned type set as well. I'd love to see someone else's work, especially more like that monster SLQ!

Crazy4Coins · April 2, 2015 11:43AM

Still have them all put away.

Even though it's not the most expensive, the SLQ is still my favorite coin. I can't imagine ever selling it.

MonsterCoinz · April 2, 2015 12:23PM

Normal mode: Build a Type set
Hard mode: Make them toners
God mode: All Rattler's

I'm working on the last one

Any updated pics? I think you need to liquidate them to save up for the Pogue sale

Strong strike on that SLQ, it is...and very nice color too!

No new pics. Maybe one day, I'll get them all imaged by one of the pros.

I think a few of the Pogue coins would actually make a nice additions to my set

Connecticoin · February 21, 2018 9:40AM

Bump!

Got any pics now?

Crazy4Coins · February 21, 2018 6:39PM

As a matter of fact.....

Finally took a few to the FUN show last month and had Todd snap a few pics for me:

Connecticoin · February 21, 2018 8:22PM

Wow, that new pic shows more color on the SLQ! Very Nice!

How about the rest? I remember a killer 1875 dime that graded 67 IIRC

Crazy4Coins · February 21, 2018 8:58PM

Yes, another one of my favorites...don't stare at the reverse too long.

ricko · February 22, 2018 8:08AM

The second picture of the SLQ is radically different from the first picture... definitely the same coin, so lighting must be the key... which is more representative of the coin 'in hand'?? Cheers, RickO

@FadeToBlack .... I agree.... That first picture looks very strange and although I did not see it when first posted years ago, I would have thought it was AT based on the picture. Cheers, RickO

And the second picture is better in that regard? Hmmmm

DIMEMAN · February 22, 2018 10:06AM

I actually like the color of the first pic better.

ricko · February 22, 2018 10:43AM

@tradedollarnut .... Yes... although quite possibly still AT... it is not so garish as the first. Cheers, RickO

Connecticoin · February 22, 2018 4:04PM

The coins came from a Wayte-Raymond like album that resulted in the toning. Not even close to AT, unless you consider storing coins in an album for 50 years to be AT (and some might!).

Wabbit2313 · February 22, 2018 6:39PM

Good thing it was graded then because no way it would happen right now! They are kicking out most everything!

HMMM.....now it's not only "tarnish" but also "garish"?.

Very good adjectival comments,

I'm going to add that to my ricko description folder.

There are circumstances where I would consider toning caused by an album to be AT. But that’s not relevant....what is relevant is whether the TPGs deem it MA.

This is true. What do you think (or know) was the source of the toning on your avatar, the most eye-appealing Trade Dollar in existence? Coin cabinet?

tradedollarnut · February 23, 2018 10:25AM

No idea

OldIndianNutKase · February 23, 2018 10:55AM

I too thought the original pic of the 1929 SLQ looked AT. But Todd's pic looks much better and I would guess it is natural toning probably in an album.

OINK

When Crazy4Coins first posted about the type set, he had pictures of the coins in the album they were in, all showing the colorful album target toning.

tradedollarnut · February 25, 2018 8:25AM

And when Anaconda first posted the infamous Peace dollar, they had pictures of the envelope it was stored in...

Hard to believe that's been like 10+ or so years ago....An old friend used to say "time is fun when you're having flies"

That coin looked blatantly cooked. The type set coins have the same target toning progression of coins stored in Wayte Raymond boards, including some Walking Liberty halves I own in PCGS 66 holders. I thinks the poor white balance on the type set photos made them look more "AT". Of course opinions and mileage may vary, but that's how I see it.

tradedollarnut · February 25, 2018 4:42PM

I’m just saying that no one knows how those coins were handled...even with the fact he bought them in an album. A good story is just that...

Hey Crazy4Coins! What became of the monster toned type set from a few years back?
