Actually, toning affects eye appeal and eye appeal is a factor in grading, so a coin's toning or lack thereof can impact the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
Dvorak Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 09/11/2010 11:16 am I think the picture where you see the whole slab look better than the really close up ones. I don't mind an honest, even toning and I think this ones just fine. Report this Post to the Staff
maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 09/11/2010 11:23 am I like the toning of that coin. But I am not in US coins and 16K for a coin is out of reach for me. What would be a decent price for such a coin in MS65? Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 09/11/2010 2:00 pm Wheatguy you are correct however I feel you misconstrued my comment. I merely meant that coins can receive the higher grades whether they are toned or not, there is no "qualifier" that says an MS68 has to be a white coin. I agree with you completely that if a coin had ugly or unrealistic toning that detracted from the eye appeal, it would suffer on the numerical grade. (Of course if it was ugly it would suffer on the price tag as well, regardless of grade) Report this Post to the Staff

Numismedia FMV for MS64 is $125 and MS65 is $213, even MS66 is not too bad at $363. The 64/65 grades make for nice coins that are affordable for the majority of collectors so unless you are truly chasing a registry coin, there is little incentive to seek out an MS68 example.

That's quite impressive! Should someone submit a coin one day that grades MS69, could this pretty much reduce the price of the MS68's? Report this Post to the Staff
