Weidel Legacy Collection Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Nice toning you have there Duke It looks like its in a slab...is this a guess the grade opportunity? If so, I'd say MS64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I'm surprised that Greg M. hasn't already threatened to take that from you Keith! Always warms the heart to add a sweetly toned coin to the collection! Congrats, Hoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithdagen Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hoot, I decided to take on this collection as an extension of my Type set. I'm looking for toned commems, not the monsters that will cost an arm and a leg, but with just enough color to not be drab. Should be a fairly long process, and will always provide something to do at the local coin shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Keith - I'm doing a similar thing with commems. I'd like to build a classic commem type set and have grades MS65 or above and nice toning. This will take a very long time, as some in 65 are outrageously expensive. But I'm patient, and it'll be fun to do over the long haul. Currently, I have but 3 classic commems: San Diego ('35-S), Bay Bridge, and Stone Mountain. All MS66. (I also have the Calif. Diamond Jubilee, MS63 PCGS, that I'm selling on eBay - nice coin, just not the grade I want). The Stone Mtn. was a butt-ugly coin when i bought it (for a song). I had it conserved with NCS. Although it's bright white now, it is a vibrant and wonderful coin. Hoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishMike Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Nice coin Keith, there are a lot of Columbians out there right now with very similar toning and great prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paigow_johnny Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Yeah...I've seen a lot of Columbians with bulls-eye type toning at the rims...I have on with a kinda blue toning that's hard to see under direct light. I guess a lot of Columbians spent a lot of time in albums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
