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!

The mark is not from a suction cup.

Consider other scenarios that could have caused the malady.

Accidents routinely happen on assembly lines, but to small enough extents that the processes are deemed profitable.

Your coin "slipped" through quality control, you bought it, but then it was up to you to be the final arbiter of its acceptability… and in a timely manner.

Live and learn.

P.S.  Good thread.  Thank you.

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.

No questions are stupid it is how we learn. I have been around a long time, and I find new information every day because someone asked a question. 

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.

With the way things are going with modern remakes, if I had $150K, I might as well spend it on lobbyists to introduce legislation to have the US Mint reissue modern versions of the most beautiful designs. 

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

well i wish i would have tested the waters before i threw that question out their..  and apparently dont say cleaned in a sentence.. i really wish they NGC would have taken a picture of the coin while they had it. maybe it was graded back in the day but i dont know  feel free to look the coin up ive been searching for pictures of it. i did email them and got the slab number. number as follows 6529202-005 i can do that i added it to my set already without pictures..  

Jason,

fantastic! Great set and great achievement!

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.

I do not search for toned nickels for my collection but If I find a nice one at a good price, I will pick it up. My collection is so big a little variety goes a long way.

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.

This coin nis ms68*. To me it looks like in the right bottom it's corroded. Is it not? 

I do see however on some of my dimes the bottom band is lacking. A weak strike I guess. How can you tell a really good dime that might be worthy of grading? Not that I'm going to send any in but I wonder what ones are the very best. 

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

Let's agree to disagree.  It's a never before noticed DDR. 

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.

OK  edhalbrook, These came in today  I did get lucky on these two coins. I paid $3 each for these. I think it is cool they must have been graded around the same time. Look at the ID numbers

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

Pretty sure CAC is not fake.

It sounds like the seller you purchased this from was using "stock" photos. Did the seller have more than one of these for sale in the listing? If so, that would explain the difference in the coin in hand and the photo on the sellers listing page. I typically will not buy from a seller that uses stock photos as you will not get the coin in the photo (which the seller is likely to use the best coin in the lot to take the photo). Hopefully you bought from a seller that accepts returns as it sounds like you are not happy with the coin that arrived at your door. I would return the coin and maybe look for a seller that is not using stock photos and is selling only one of these coins.

As for the registry photos, I am not a registry participant, but I have looked into the process. Nobody can "upload" photos to the registry or to NGC. You can upload photos here in the forum, but not for any grading/certification/registry purposes (I do not know how the PCGS end of this works). You go and look up the NGC cert number on their verification and then you can click a button to claim the coin as yours and add it to your registry set.

You can contact NGC customer service and ask for a specific date of when a coin was graded, but I am not sure how this fits into what is taking place here. You can "estimate" an approximate range of the date when it was graded based on the cert number on the slab and where the submission numbers are starting out at now although this won't be helpful if you don't submit your own coins to NGC.

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.

Lucy. We have not seen the other side but I have to say. Getting a 67 on that coin was a gift . It has lots of hits and a scratch that goes from two a clock to four a clock. I hope you have some more with good grades out of 30 coins.  

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.
