I can't seem to add additional images but if the previous pics posted help to assess a grade estimate I would be grateful.
The PCGS # is 2426.91/52696100
PCGS Genuine
Questionable Color-UNC Detail

The TrueView photos look a lot nicer than the original photos. It did receive a grade: Unc details. A numerical mint state grade isn't relevant, since the value would generally be less than the lowest straight-graded mint state grade. That being said, it looks like a pretty attractive coin.

I'm not going to resurrect the the whole conversation on toning. But that, IMHO, is market acceptable and should sell at a premium compared to other questionable color versions. It does make me question why someone felt the need to lay on colors - how bad did it look before?

Remember people the color is "Questionable" not natural or artificial!
I liked it enough to invest in it.
I would still like a grade estimate if anyone dares to commit.

It seems like them calling it questionable shows ignorance, fear of commitment, or both.  The market will set the price appropriately regardless of the label. |

If they can't decide, why compromise a coin rating with a non-conclusive decision, such as "UNC Details because of Questionable Color"? Edit to add this: Pacificoin, you are spot on !

Well on the plus side you have a coin deemed "Genuine". On the minus side you have a coin considered "UNC- Details" which basically takes the value of an MS-60 coin and cuts it in half for many collectors. In reality this coin will be worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Some may consider the details grade as a negative and offer half of the MS-60 value. Others may Like the eye appeal of the colorful toning and offer a premium which could range from $2300 in MS-60 to $5200 in MS-65. Myself, I would place it in the mid range UNC (MS-63) With a value of $2800 and with the details designation I would be a buyer in the $1500 range. Others may feel differently.

PacificCoin for the win. Just look at all the obvious work done by Mountain Mike that straights https://www.ebay.com/str/mikesmountainvalues Not claiming they look bad but NOBODY happens upon so many toners - unless of course, they are a color artist. *** Staff Edit: Link fixed.
