Hi all, I recently acquired this and wanted your opinions. It was very difficult to photograph, but I think I captured how amazing the toning is! Thanks, Matt       |

As many as you want under $15.00 each post paid no case if you look around. You will find most of these are toned due to the sulphur and chemicals that were in the box materials. DO not pay a premium for wild toning on these coins! They are Specimen strikes.

Pacific is spot on with his assessment! they are only 50 % silver and there are literally tons around.
90% of them are toned to some extend. some are spectacular.
Perhaps one that is NOT toned at all in any way might be the better choice and scarcer.

@47 I think the only untoned and not dipped out one I ever had was the one I got as a gift in 1971. You should see it now it is Purple , gold, sea green ,and pink. Still $15 box not included !!!!!L  |

Ok, any idea on the grade? By the way, I only paid $6.50, so under spot is not too bad, right?

Nice coin, Matt. I bet it looks even better in hand. Personally, I'm not crazy about these because there are so many around, but I think I'd pick up one like yours in a heartbeat.

I think it would be better to buy the boxes! Too bad couldn't get it new with all those environmental conditions... think of the coins you could put in there and get some monster toners...

I melted all of mine when silver jumped a few years back,..and I was not on this forum (yet).. but I still have the  boxes .. I still think that they are/were beautiful in that pristine specimen strike and colours. Maybe I kept 1 or 2 now in 2x2's with the better toning..I'd have to look.. |

Those with the strong cameo strikes, and flawless surfaces, and good eye appeal with respect to the toning can fetch a decent price, when certified.
I once sold a nice 1972 silver dollar, toned electric blue on the reverse, heavy cameo white on the obverse, certified PCGS SP68, for almost $200... the eye-appeal is what drew the buyer to the coin (and why I certified it in the first place).

SPP, what would you say a fair price - ball park range would be for the above coin?
Thanks,
Matt

In raw condition - not more than the others have stated. Prices go up when gem examples are certified.
