Sometimes I roll the dice and buy stupid stuff like blueberry toned walkers.

Am I insane (AT), a genius (NT) or an insane genius (both)?

    I'd vote for massive environmental damage based on those images. :grimace:

    Unusual markings for sure but strangely I like it.

    Many happy BST transactions

    Interesting to say the least, I wouldn't call it "stupid" though. There are many different ways to enjoy this Hobby.

    The reverse appears pretty low on the originality scale, and while I don't doubt it was "taped" it looks like an experiment. Kinda like the masking tape jobs I do when painting the interior of my house it looks like whatever was applied leached under the tape.
    Just my .02.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    That's Wild. I like it . . . NT.

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Taped and wild color, not sure I like it but it’s definitely different.

    Look to match the end of 3rd cycle to 4th on the toning progression chart, may have a winner.

    Yeah, first thing I checked out was Sunnywood progressions and it seems fine to me... The real question is will PCGS holder it?

    We'll send it in and see. Please let us know I am curious. Nice deep blue if it passes you have a good one.

    I vote NT. Interesting piece. Looks like it may have been taped to something for 50+ years.

    Submit it … I think it may holder.

    You're a mad genius!!! :D

    Interesting.....a little dark.

    But, a piece that could likely grow on me depending upon what the purchase price was.

    Ummmm.... I guess I'm bucking the trend. I'm not a huge fan of this sort of toning. Best!

    I am going to say that the coin was affixed to an album slot with selvage from stamps as opposed to purpose made tape only because the pattern looks more like perforations than the zigzag pattern of a tape cutter. Could be wrong. I am on the fence about NT vs AT but I would have bought it.

  • JimnightJimnight Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That piece would grow on me... I like it.

    I would have bought it only if it was real cheap.

    I like it.. I bet the luster still pops under that color.

    I would be surprised if it straight graded.

    I had to come back and admire this one again! <3B)

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Certainly interesting color and markings.... I can see the 'tape' concept... but wonder what environmental components produced the blue tarnish...There is blue in the tarnish progression range, however, this looks too uniform (and yes, I see the pink as well)...The discussion of AT vs. NT is specious at best in this case...Definitely a unique case.

    It almost looks painted on. I would need to see it in hand, but I think it is questionable. It would be worth a submission to see what our host thinks.

  • sarikanairsarikanair Posts: 154 ✭✭✭

    Looks damaged but the blueberry toning is really attractive! It depends on collector’s perspective, what he or she sees in the coin might differ...
