I've seen it triple the value of coins before. Or rather triple the asking price. I have a few in my collection that I have certainly paid a premium for.

Exactly. It all depends on the person buying them and how they see them (good or bad).

Some of my proofs have the aforementioned hazing and I don't see them being worth more.
But maybe the white haze will, with time, eventually turn color to lets say, a purple haze.
Rest in Peace

40% proof Ikes are notorious for unattractive milky grey-to-blue tarnish. NCC can remove it, but hardly worth it unless you expect it to grade 69-70

here is a pretty cool looking tone on a silver dollar. I saw it on the auction wall at a local coin store.

Toning?

How can that be MS70? I know some people like toning,but that coin looks damaged to me...just my opinion of course. Some toned coins look very cool....mostly Morgan silver dollars. But that coin is damaged.

And it's toned like that since 2010?

Isn't that just the least bit suspicious to you?

And ugly to boot.

Got a couple of those, in the brown packaging.
I don't think they are terribly unattractive though, more blue than grey.

It sure does seem suspect that those coins toned in just 1 year, I don't get the grading thing, how can anyone grade that as ms-70, I saw the post about it not being a "real grading company" What makes a grading company legit?

That American Eagle looks like it had a few bad minutes one day. I am quite certain it was done intentionally, at least that is my humble opinion.

the only one I feel is creditable is pcgs as most people recognize them and there considered the gold standard for grading

I agree with it being intentional too, I can't see how a year will do that to a coin. I should have gotten a pic of the back side. It has a little spot on it that looked like the front then the rest was normal.
