jackson12345 New Member Canada 45 Posts	Posted 04/03/2025 11:00 am I acquired this coin a while back. It came to me with very nice toning,but with time has become more vivid and spreading now to the other side. As if an artist took his brush and went wild across the whole coin. And on top of that, we have very strong doubling on the date and some letters. My question - is it common to see such coloring and doubling? I want to part with the coin, so best avenue for selling?

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9693 Posts	Posted 04/03/2025 12:11 pm 1973 dollars are likely the most common spectacularly toned dollars of all. The toning is caused by off-gassing of the original packaging material. The doubling is flat and shelf like Mechanical Doubling which brings no premium. Many dealers have bins of these toned '73 dollars for less than $20 each. It's a beautiful and interesting coin, a keeper, not worth the trouble of selling. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 04/03/2025 12:43 pm Great coloring, but the "doubling" is machine/mechanical doubling (MD) and adds nothing to the price. I doubt if there is much of a market for your dollar, as there are a lot of them out there, but it's a sure keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
