I might keep it. I might get it slabbed and sell it for a couple hundred. Not sure yet. You will slab it. You will sell it. You will take their money. They will thank you.  |

You're probably right Jbuck lol.
Dave, this was part of a monster box I bought in 2015 but I sold most of it off when silver rocked up right after Brexit last year. Made a killing. I was (rhymes with wrapping) myself when the whole 2015 philly codes came out a while ago as I had already opened it obviously but thankfully I had a wear point code

How did the reverse end up with the crescent toning? Just curious, as I have a couple toning on a slab of wood that only tone on the face up side.. might need to try again and include a coin tube to emulate yours. I've noticed some finger prints on mine that must have been accidentitly touched during a flip attempt or one of my kids finding them and touching

Oddly enough there was another next to it reverse up that didn't tone much. I believe it has as much to do with the specific surface of the coin (probably via the strike, die life, planchet prep etc) as much as it has to do with the environmental conditions the coin was stored in.

I'm not big on toned coins, but that thing looks gorgeous.

Lovely ASE if you enjoy toning ... and many indeed do. I have limited experience with the modern coin market ... wondering if the PCGS MS 68 grade is an issue .... my recall is that 69 or 70is where the money is if one is looking to sell. Appears from your posts you intend to sell this coin and use the agreed fabulous obverse toning as an advantage. Best of wishes with that. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Do you really think that someone would pay $300 for it?
