Simple Collector

I like toned coins but this is a little much for me. attached is the Great Photo for the listing.

I would consider an auction house such as Great Collections. They have an excellent archive for previous auctions which should help you assess the value of your collection. In addition, Ian offers some of the lowest sales cost of any auction houses around as well as pretty much doing all the dirty work for you. Good luck!

He said it could not be returned which is disappointing to say the least. i prefer purchasing these types of issues already slabbed by a TPG so these types of issues are more easily avoided.

It can sure seem they’re stupid around here more often than necessary based on some responses. That gets followed by explanations of excuses as to why said responses weren’t really meant to be rude acknowledging pretty much that they are / were. I understand there are trolls and bad posts and people in general who don’t care about our hobby. But I also believe if we wish our hobby to be sustained we need to be a little more careful with those “newbies” who have a genuine interest. Perhaps we need to show a little more patience and understanding that no they don’t know all the correct terminology or nuances of our hobby and we need to help them learn in a more positive way.

Absolutely agree! I really like the modern Morgan and Peace dollars!

Jason, fantastic! Great set and great achievement!

Mine would not be limited to just one coin but rather several. My limit has always been monetary or at least the amount I would be willing to spend for such a specimen. I always wanted a 1916-D Mercury dime in high grade with FB. Close behind would be the 1909-SVDB cent in high grade as well!

I would leave them as they are and perhaps display them for enjoyment! Most likely they are common date and not worth extensive premiums. it is also not recommended to clean them or have them cleaned.

Probably 95% of my Roosevelt Silver dime set is toned. I also have quite a number of Jefferson Nickels of the war years that have amazing color!

The Roosevelt dimes in the silver years of 1946 - 1964 is a great set and can be economical to collect in relatively high grades. There are quite a few collectors who seek out FT specimens only which by NGC standards is the toughest in the industry. In order to qualify as a FT specimen the top and bottom bands must be fully split. In addition, the vertical bands must show definition. There are several dates and mints that are famous for beautiful toning from sitting in albums for years, especially Wayne Raymond albums. Several of the original mint sets from the 50’s can also impart impressive toning. Toning is in the eyes of the beholder and is sought after in all series by some collectors.

I own this coin and I assure you it is has no corrosion.

If you believe it is a DDR. Send it in to a TPG for certification. It would sell at a higher price if certified by an independent grading organization. Good luck.

Appears they were part of the same submission! Very cool indeed!!

Pretty sure CAC is not fake.

Yes you can upload your own photos to your registry. Once a PCGS coin is confirmed and accepted into your registry set you are free to upload those photos as well.

I believe Legend numismatics is completely different. Laura is closing down the auction house due to health related issues. She recently had a kidney transplant.

Just got official notice from Laura that Legend Auctions is closing immediately. I had heard rumors about it some time right before Christmas.

Feels great to complete a set! Major congratulations!

Good luck! I have quite a few with GC as well. Also noted a fellow SW Ohion as well!

From the Appalachian Hoard. I believe there’s are gen 8.

Good luck! They have 91 of mine right now.

Where did the OP say anything about their coin being worth more than face value?

If the coin is in a PCGS holder I choose not to crack it out. Reason being, if it does not cross you will still pay some fees and have no guarantee that PCGS would give the same grade when resubmitted to them in addition to their fees. Other company holders I leave the coin alone as I bought the coin for the coin and not the holder.

I bet that is a die crack from two o’clock to four. If that was a scratch, NGC would have body bagged that coin with no grade.
