    Did you say capper or crapper?

    Very funky toning pattern for an album toner. I have to go with my gut and proclaim "questionable color" at best, and AT at worst.

    A good price is $5, but I'll double that and give you $10 image.

    I dont see what's so wrong with it, as long as it was really tucked away in that album for a while. I like it!

    Note the grinning smiley face...

    I've not seen one toned this way, but looks to be a nice EF otherwise and would look good in my 7070, AT or not. You are probably very aware of the value, but $150-$200 is my guess. I've seen toners go for crazy money though.

    It is what it is, it was truely found in a box. I was responding to a "coin album" post this morning and dug 5 old wayte raymond coin albums out of a box. This coin was in one of the albums.

    crazyhounddog - It certainly beats the one I found in a box this morning - I'd be elated to find one like yours.

    I believe long-term residents of Wayte Raymond retirement facilities often take on that colorful toning, don't they?
  • BlackhawkBlackhawk Posts: 3,899 ✭✭✭
    Is the color actually that bright, or more subdued?

    I've never actually seen one of these albums in hand before. The hole looks to be a bit larger than the coin. Since you can see both sides of the coin, what is it that keeps the coin from falling out? I don't see a mylar sleeve or any other type of clear cover to keep it in place.
    Just curious.

    I like the coin, though!

    I believe it is simply not level with the album, creating the illusion of space. But usually, its the early yrs that are too big.

    Not "puddles" of color like the OP's coin. Its more of a target type progression that works from the rims to the center, often times with the center of the coin completely unaffected. This coin has 3 "puddles" of toning in the wide open fields that seem to defy any logical "album toning" progression.

    Looks great, whether the color is original or not (and it's almost certainly not, but who cares- it's a nice lookin' album coin).

    Looks XF to me, what you should be asking yourself is what Die Marriage is it?

    in 1826 there were an estimated 4,004,180 Bust Half Dollars Minted
    13 Obverse Dies & 18 Reverse Dies were used to produced 20 different Die Marriages.

    5 of the Marriages for 1826 are R4 or R5's which bring well over the price of an XF 1826..............

    That 1834 above is very blatant AT. I had a similar one. Eerily similar, in fact. Who'd you get that from? image

    The coin in the OP doesn't look as blatantly AT to me. True, it doesn't look original, but it looks more like a coin that was dipped and then acquired the secondary toning after some time in the album, rather than something that got "cooked".
