fasttalker27 Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 11:47 am I recently came across a collection of Mercury dimes in an old blue book. I have 14 or so low to mid grade coins (VG-XF) that have a beautiful gold and iridescent toning to them. I don't mess with toned coins so need some guidance. Do they have any more value to a collector given that they are not Mint state but still toned? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Value of a Coin is determined by numerical grade plus the eye appeal. Eye appeal can be good or bad and effects value up or down. Price is determined by the number of people searching for and able to buy that value of that coin. We would love to see Edited by moxking 07/08/2019 11:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
fasttalker27 Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 11:58 am Thanks. I do not plan on cleaning them. I was just going to put them in my Mercury book and the extras in my four sons books. However since they are toned, I wondered about trading them off to someone looking specifically for toned coins. I will try to take some pictures and upload tonight. Report this Post to the Staff
