I really like this 1923-P Peace Dollar and would like some opinions on it. To me it looks GORGEOUS and I know Peace Dollars are next to impossible to find with real pretty original toning, but what are some of your thoughts from those more familiar with Peace Dollars?
...There's always time for coin collecting.

before reading Russ's post, was album toning of some sort.
but i am just guessing.

Luckily, I already have a monster peace, so I don't have to worry about it

I'll try...

I saw a few of those coins at this past month's Parsippany show and I have to say that what shows in the pictures is what they look like in hand.
I remember this one specifically and I can tell you that the color is right on from what it looks like in hand.
yikes.
TPN mentioned recently that he might be selling off his hoard, maybe you'll get lucky and snag one of those.....
As far as the images go, anyone who has tried to scan or photograph a toner knows how tough it is to get an image that accurately portrays the coin without some photoshopping. I have seen a couple of my old freinds appear on that sight, and the images were dead on. Just my 2 cents.
Here we go again! NGC just can't help themselves can they?
Crescent follows the right color pattern, though the blue is a little unerving. It is a possible color, and the pastel center of the peace is very common in Monster toners.
Nice coin though Id only pay about 1/16th of their asking price.

I simply wanted constructive opinions on this coin that actually contain substance. Not silliness from some who have never seen the coin in-hand. I know this forum is an open forum and all opinions are welcome and appreciated, but let's try to keep it within the context of fairness and reality. I think Gary's coins on his website are some of the coolest toners around and I never doubted the authenticity of the toning on this Peace Dollar, I just simply wanted input as to the desirability and difficulty of such a nicely toned Peace, because I have learned (thanks to this forum) that nicely toned Peace Dollars are quite scarce.

Sorry Dizz - my personal opinion is that NGC recently (or maybe not so recently) made a policy decision to sell out and not make an effort to screen AT. I have witnessed too many times in the last few months - a common date PEACE $ (or other common date coin) with "unique" "never seen before" monster toning in a new NGC star holder going for moon money. Call my observation what you like., but you can't ignore this trend. I think NGC is on a slippery slope right now....

Shane, I agree with your above statement, This is certainly the brainless basher's forum. Most who bash toners here have never owned a decent toner.

What does my listing have to do with this thread?

Example of image saturation. Why?
I asked to make sure that was indeed what he was referring to.
And you attack me out of the blue for asking a question? I didn't even say a thing about the coin that dizzy posted.

But now that it has been explained that tonecoin2003 is gototoning, I get where the other posters were going.
It is totally absurd for you, Hadleydog, to attack me for what others said about Island Coins coins and images.

Oh really ? Show me an unquestionably original coin with pretty toning and I will give it some props. I have a news flash for you - You don't need to be a member of TCCS to understand color and originality. Don't be so quick to dismiss dissenting opinions. Some people are jerks with agendas as you say, but some others are truly concerned about what is popping up in holders today, particularly newer NGC.
Nobody Screemed AT back when this thread about the same coin came up! Toned Peace NGC MS 65*
I would LOVE to Own that NT Peace!

Meaning what? The people who expressed that opinion here today, and I didn't, just didn't comment about it then. You can't seriously be saying that means they are hypocritical for saying it's AT now?
Let them have their opinions! Lighten up.

Wow, since dizzy ttt'd the thread from last year, and a comparison of images can be made, I think I see what you mean. Plus the hit(s) seen and mentioned in the thread from last year (Bear has best Peace, uofa author) seem to be gone in the image dizzy posted here.
