Ever seen a SAE tone like this in a dansco?

This coin is on the BST now. Implication from the description is that toning is NT, from a dansco:

"In the top five finest toned American Silver Eagles I've seen or heard of! Purchased raw from a top notch toned DANSCO type set this one recently graded out at MS68. Simply a breathtaking coin with a dozen various colors including a raw shade of turquoise. Outstanding!"

I don't collect SAEs, and am not an expert, but I find this to be a misleading auction. Am I missing anything?

Nope, but a book of matches will do that.

kiyote · June 28, 2007 8:43AM

Nope, not with only one side toning like that. Looks fake, fake...

Aren't those slabs the kind that you do by the yourself?.

Here's an example of natural Dansco toning:

Thanks Russ. Reverse looks similar?
Don

Reverse of the bst coin is blast white.

How long does something like that take to happen? They look real nice.

Another example of Dansco toning. The coin was blast white, then a few years later, ringed toned ASE.

Yeah, thats a milk spot.

braddick, lol, every day i am becoming more disappointed in what
you will do to make a buck.

if you enjoy fleecing people of their money more power to you.
i could not sleep at night.

I was wondering why this was slabbed at PCI instead of PCGS, or NGC.
Actually I wasn't really wondering, maybe more giving Braddick the benefit of a doubt.

DJCoinz · June 28, 2007 2:02PM

It sold for $242?? Ridiculous price for an ugly coin.

Morgansforever,

That's what 90 % of my ASE's also look like after a year or two in the Dansco...
I only pull the album out of the SDB once a year to add the newer issues.
None of the ASE's look like that wildly toned one on Ebay.

Don,
It wasn't toned in or from a DANSCO album... it came from a toned set of coins housed in a DANSCO album.
I think the colors are too wild for anything outside of PCI so PCGS or NGC were not attempted.

It's pretty neon in person and with a .99c start and no reserve (with no shilling) and a full return privilege I still doubt I'll see this one returned.

fc what is your eBay handle?
