Here is a 1894 S1 MS-64RB PCGS (EEPS) that I got at Long Beach and now that is sold, I can post it.
The Tucson Gem and Mineral show is in town. It is 30+ shows all over town. Some of my friends, Richard Spencer (looks like Ben Franklin) and Jim Watson stopped by the office. Jim deals in Fire Agate which exhibit beautiful colors when polished correctly. Here is a sample of fire agate that is about the size of a Indian Cent:
Here is a close-up image:
And an even closer shot of the same piece:
The value of this cent-sized piece of fire agate is $2K to $3K, as far as I was told. Not as much as the $3,500 that the 1894 S1 sold for, but just as beautiful.

<< <i>People pay that kind of money for those?
Yes, and if you can believe it some IHCs even go for more than that!

I was deliberately being ambiguous.

<< <i>I was deliberately being ambiguous.
You mean contentious.
<< <i>That sure is a beauty!!! Thanks for sharing it! And that 1894/94 isn't half bad either .....
Charmy, it looks like the entire date is doubled on that one. I can see it on the 894, and I think a little bit on the 1. I think it may be the one in the PCGS Price Guide.
<< <i>Very nice coin. Can that stone be reproduced by man? >>
Do you have something against women?
It may be just me, but I'm seeing a beautiful woman's torso when I look at that fire agate, complete with belly button.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

One of mine in Silver that Mr. Sonnier had called the "Black Opal" with a few images of a polished Black Opal i thought was cool...

that always makes for a popular variety $$
<< <i>Here is a piece on Ebay for $10,000....but most of the rest of the pieces are selling for under $10 bucks so clearly there are huge degrees in quality...not unlike coins

It's in the slab. That means it's safe from the sniffer.
EDIT: I wonder if they can get that thing to sniff through plastic?
That is a thing of beauty! Beautiful toning on Prooflike fields!
Of course it is real - cant you see the gap in the toning by the stars.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Nice Color!!

The "coin doctors" these days have these very tiny little stickers they put on the coins in those as well as other strategic areas before they dip them to simulate that "natural" effect. When they're finished, they remove them with acetone.
Don't you know anything?
