Is the TONING frenzy over?

Dave99B · July 28, 2004 8:51AM

$15-$20 dollar coin?

Since it's bidding at $340 now, I'd say it's not over

FrattLaw · July 28, 2004 8:56AM

Please sell me all your toned Peace $ with even marginal toning that are MS61 for $15-$20.

Thanks

Ugh, and that is not even pretty toning. Rubbed or scratched toning detracts IMO. Could be a shill bidder out there pumping the price up.

airplanenut · July 28, 2004 9:03AM

I think it is quite attractive, and better than the picture--rainbow on the bottom of the obverse; endroll on the reverse... I think it'll be more green with better lustre than the picture shows...

Dave99B · July 28, 2004 9:06AM

Ageed, it's nice, especially for a Peace. I'd go maybe $70 or $75.

$340+ ? Pass....

Dave

XpipedreamR · July 28, 2004 9:09AM

I'll bet that looks really nice in person, although $340 is a tad steep.

Monstavet · July 28, 2004 9:13AM

That just doesn't seem right. But you see enough of these super high priced toners that it no longer raises an eyebrow. Probably pocket change for someone.

ziggy29 · July 28, 2004 9:22AM

Nice, original toning *may* be worth a premium, but not 20x the value of a white coin, IMO. Yikes. I never thought I'd see the day an MS-61 1922-P Peace dollar hit $100, let alone over $300.

mrearlygold · July 28, 2004 9:57AM

It's "ok", but 340 bucks?

That's crazy.

I love it. But then again, what the heck do I know.

LincolnCentMan · July 28, 2004 10:43AM

Anyone who wants to sell toned dollars like this to me for $15-$20.... please PM me with pics and prices

nwcs · July 28, 2004 10:47AM

Definitely over $100 coin. But I'm not sure how far I'd go on this one. But it sure does look nice.

oldcameoproofsguy · July 28, 2004 10:50AM

Stupid money is as stupid money does.

FrattLaw · July 28, 2004 12:00PM

While I too like the toning -- this price does seem even a bit ridiculous to me. Since I specialize in toned Peace $ I've seen prices across the Board for these coins. From $29 on Ebay for better grades, lesser toning to even nicely toned AU Peace $ that bring strong money. However, the most I'd be willing to go on this one is probably $100 or so. I do think Jeremy's right that coin will look even better in hand.

Sure hope so. I need to stock up again at reasonable prices...

Had a forum guy outbid me on a toner this evening.

Ken

Coinosaurus · July 28, 2004 2:12PM

I like the toning. Nicely toned Peace dollars are very hard to find.

Dave99B · July 28, 2004 2:22PM

Ken - Are you walking about that '41 PCGS MS66 FB Merc? Wasn't me...

Dave

ccr · July 28, 2004 2:28PM

All together, I bought these for less then what that 1922 - P MS61 went for. I thought you guys would like to know that.

GoYankees · July 28, 2004 3:26PM

Hey FrattLaw, here's one for ya...

1926-S Toned Peace Dollar NGC MS62

sadysta1 · July 29, 2004 12:21AM

Nope

XpipedreamR · July 29, 2004 12:31AM

That original Teletrade dollar shows "not sold" now...does that mean there was a $340+ reserve?

(I don't know how Teletrade works)

Fairlaneman · July 29, 2004 1:12AM

Thats the one. It got up there a little high I thought. JrGman was the guy....

To me, it has always been a determination as to the TYPE of toning. It is all subjective, but any frenzy over toned coins just for the sake of any coloration, hopefully is over. There will always be a strong market for well-toned beauties.

eagle7 · July 29, 2004 11:01AM

Im happy to report that I am not one of the bidders on that ugly Peace Dollar!

ddink · July 29, 2004 12:41PM

<< <i>but not 20x the value of a white coin >>

I think people get too hung up on multiples. People pay 10x for an MS70 vs. MS69, but if you pay 10x for a lovely toned coin, you're crazy. To non-collectors, we're all crazy since we'll spend $1000 on a $1 coin--that's 1000x it's "value" (that is, it's value to non-collectors). In the same way, that toned coin that's worth $1000 to a collector of toned coins is worth $50 to someone who doesn't collect them. Heck, if people will pay millions for a canvas that's painted solid blue ("art"), I think toning lovers are downright sane paying a few thou for some, essentially, colorful rust.

XpipedreamR · July 29, 2004 11:44PM

OK...instead of simply ttting this thread, I'll be a little more clear.

This thread was about an average toned Peace dollar that had huge bids in a Teletrade auction. Now it reads "Not sold"

Could someone, perhaps one of the original posters, comment on what this might mean on Teletrade before I

Thanks

anablep · July 29, 2004 11:51PM

Pass on this one. Not even PQ toning.

Guess the toning craze ain't over...

XpipedreamR · July 29, 2004 11:55PM

Well, I guess this coin was passed on...that's what I'm trying to figure out considering it had $340+ bids.

tgilliams · July 30, 2004 12:00AM

Ugliest Peace Dollar I've ever seen, not worth even the slabbing fees

XpipedreamR · July 30, 2004 9:25AM

Fine...I give up

Tonelover · July 30, 2004 9:31AM

What part of "not sold" don't you understand?

XpipedreamR · July 30, 2004 9:36AM

Look, people...the whole point of this thread was "Wow, look at the ordinary peace dollar with a little toning that's been bid up to $340"

Now, all I want to know is how it could be "not sold"

Is the TONING frenzy over?
