and not because some cat had kittens, or a well known actor died, or because it's some one's birthday. Thank you.

Here's a great looking Bust Half Dollar in the upcoming Heritage sale. A client gave me a crazy-high bid for it and has already been outbid.

    Great eye appeal, I love the look!!! Are you sure it's not your birthday or something??

    That's the way they should look. I have absolutely zero of those in my CBH collection.

    Thanks Mark, for trying to re-direct the focus on the Forum.

    Could you also remind the posters to describe their post in the title, a little better.

    As for the coin you were trying to buy for a client, eye appeal conquers all-- grade, TPG, and price do not matter to many of us.

    Do you and your client really feel it's UNC image

    As the obverse/reverse slab pics on that CBH show high points which resemble a super slider.

    Here is a coin with great eye appeal, I bought this piece off e-bay for $28.00, the seller could not take a very good image of this piece, in fact his pic. was just horrible so I down loaded his image to my photo album and made some adjustment and was able to kinda see the coin. I took a chance and won this piece for $28.00, I have just sent this coin in for grading and I have high hopes.

    It looks quite similar to the second set of images from the auction listing.

    I'm sure there would be widely varying opinions on the originality of the toning. While the coin has obvious high point rubbing, that's often overlooked in this grade if the luster is essentially full everywhere else.

    Thanks roadrunner, As I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees the rub...

    As when super-sizing the cartoon-ish pics the slight possibility of chance that CBH is UNC just totally falls apart.

    PCGS/David Hall didn't say "any toned Peace Dollar is AT". He said:

    <<..Here's a little controversy...do naturally rainbow toned peace dollars exist...I don't think so. Here's what I said on PCGS CoinFacts...

    Note that I am of the very strong opinion that any 1921 peace dollar...indeed any peace dollar...that has any rainbow colors (blue, red, green, etc) is absolutely artificially toned. While not very scientific, my approach to toning on coins is to remember the colors I saw in the 1960's and 1970's and if a new look appears, it's artificial to me. This is kind of an "old school" approach and I may be wrong, but unless you believe global warming has created new colors for coins, it just seems illogical to me that new colors would suddenly appear naturally on coins.

    So...I never saw a single rainbow toned peace dollar in the 1960s or 1970s, but of course I saw thousands of rainbow Morgans. Perhaps the silver was a little different, or handled a little different. You certainly don't see the white spots on Morgans that you see on 1922 and 1923 peace dollars. Anyway...that's what I think....>>
