Dear old dad just passed away and he was an avid collector. I was sorting through a few of his coins and found this BEAUTIFULLY toned ASE that he bought from littleton years ago.
Still in the littleton cardboard holder and we all know what cardboard can do to coins.
This on is simply stunning with deep blueberry/purple tone that I really love. He has many more that I haven't had the chance to look at because there's many more important things to deal with right now.
Just out of curiosity what would this beauty be worth in the toner community?

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.My father has been collecting since 1970 or so. He got me started back then too. Problem was dad had more $$ then I did for coins.
Sold most of my collection to payoff the house early a few years ago. Now I have my fathers 40+ year collection.
One thing he loved to do was buy mint sets and give them as gifts to the grand children ect to help promote the numismatic trade.
My son has a small collection that I started for him years ago but he's more interested in video games.
I've already decided to give him all of my fathers coins from his birth year 1993.
Anyway I was stunned when I pulled this ASE out of the brown envelope and just had to take pics to share here.
Slabbed - depends on the grade. Could be $50-$100. Likely not worth getting slabbed, imho. If MS69, then much more. Most get MS67 or MS68, imho, and I can't tell from the pic on this one.
As a memory - potentially priceless if this is something that is unique from what he left that you would remember him fondly from.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>Thanks guys!!

Huh?
Brown Envelope or Cardboard holder, which is it? Was the cardboard holder in an envelope?
As for the price, as it sits, then probably $50 or $60. (Well above melt IMO)
If it got graded by PCGS, then several hundred depending upon the grade.
The name is LEE!

The ASE was in the cardboard holder as pictured. The cardboard holder was in a hard plastic snap case which I removed the coin from to take a clear picture. The hard plastic snap case which held the cardboard holder was in a pocket sized brown envelope.
Does this make it clear?
There are several more like this that I haven't looked at yet.
