Honestly => I am sooooo jacked-up that I randomly purchased a 1902 MS-63 25 cent piece, for $499 ...
and really? => how bad can it be? ... I'm thinking that the blue-book price for it is approximately $2,500 ... and ummm, even if it does have actual feces hanging off of it, it is still a 1902 MS63 25 cent piece, colo-rectal toning and all ....
arrrgghh, sure, it doesn't sound ideal, but it'll still be kinda like loving a poor unfortunate child with a disformity => kinda like lil' Jimmy, with the colo-rectal smile ... sure, maybe the ladies ain't crowdin' around, but Momma still thinks that he'll grow-up to be a Senator ... blah-blah

Does this colo-rectal toning develop from being stored in tissue...the 2ply version I suspect? Not to mention where this must have been stored.

OMG => you must see this coin => "it absolutely rocks!"
Ironically, I am waiting-on a digital camera that I ordered through "Colonial Acres", so I am currently unable to show you a photo of this "absolute babe of a coin"! .... but I can attempt to describe its beauty:
it is an almost blast-white coin, with amber toning aroud the outter rim ... as far as I can see, there isn't a single mark on the coin except for a big hunk of awesome beauty!
=> cha-ching!!!

yah => it's "sweet-nice" ...
It's now one of my favorite coins (I'm sooooo glad, especially after having colo-rectal expectencies, ya know?) .... anyway ... oh, but I want to bust it outta its hard-plastic-home so that I can put it into my album ...
QUESTION => so, should I, or shouldn't I? (ummm, I know that I'm going to, but I just wanted to see if you guys would shun me for removing it) ...
Oh, and once my camera arrives, "hopefully" I will quickly learn the skill to take and post photos, for I'm kinda like a proud Dad watching his kid play soccer => I want you guys to see how cool the coin actually looks (*shiver*)

So, why did you get the coin so cheap then if there is nothing wrong with it?

Ummmm, well it's made of wood (it's almost like a "real" quarter, but not quite, ya know?) ...
Exactly => that's why I started the thread => I have zero-idea why this coin wasn't listed for $2,500 (Charlton catalogue) .... but eh? => all is well, that ends well!
... for the record, I would have paid $2,500 for this gem ... "my precious"

Relating to this topic I found an 1876 1 cent for 500... graded by PCGS as MS65. Book value for that is 2500. I don't collect Canadian coins. Should I buy it? I would just resell it to fund my NFLD coin collection.
edit* It's a nice red with a little bit of brown..

Congrats on getting a beauty. If it were me, I would keep it in the hard holder, and put it in my safety deposit box.
I was considering buying some of the other coins CA had on that sale, but I was concerned because of no pictures.

 Hello Stevex6, are you absolutely sure this quarter is a 1902 and not a 1902H? I spoke to Todd Sandham, owner of Colonial Acres and he did confirm he sold the coin to you for $499.00, however he states it is a 1902H quarter which trends at $750.00. If you have the quarter nearby, can you take a "real close" (10x loop) look at it and confirm this? There seems to be some discrepancy! Confused and waiting! Glenn  |

sadly glenzy1 => mystery solved (despite asking Colonial Acres to verify that the coin was a 1902, apparently it was a 1902H)
... now I'm sad (however, I bought the coin for $499 and Charlton has it listed for $600) ... so, I'm probably still gonna keep it?
Man, that's a bit of a sad story, isn't it? (oh well, I still think the coin is pretty) ...
... it's now kinda like a stray-dog that I probably wouldn't have adopted, but now that I own it, I will keep it and raise it as if it was one of my own ...
QED
... I'm gonna go have a glass of wine

some of you seem to think dipping equals polishing or ruining. Unless the
toning is very heavy, a proper dipping will only remove the unwanted toning.
