Okay... Now I feel a bit better.... Stars !

So as you guys may remember I had 3 prior invoices of modern coins all come back AT from NGC... well here's the latest one... Other than the Peace $ these are all toned....Hey at least I got 2 stars ! I cant believe I missed the wheel mark though.

 

The 23 Peace $ really isnt even toned which makes me scratch my head. And what exactly does "Altered Color" mean ? Isnt that the same as "AT?"

 

Edited: Actually I feel alot better - the 44-P NGC67* is one out of only 14 that have received a star and none have graded MS68....

This is much better than getting konked in the head and seeing stars!

 

Altered Color? Could this mean that someone tried to restore it to RD? Maybe someone else will know.

Is that 1938 a proof or business strike?

It was MS.

Can you post a pic of the Peace Dollar in question?

[djdilliodon]

For copper altered color I believe means that the coins color is off. For example a red copper coin that looks pink.

Ok I know you registered for the forums like a century ago and did not regularly post but you are going to need to learn pretty quick that if you talk toners and stars and don't post images......we are going to send viruses to your computer

@DJ - Thanks. I wasnt sure.

 

@Jersey - I will once it comes home. But it really isnt toned. It was a MS62/63 that I traded a dealer for that came from his raw binder book at a show. It was a lesser VAM that had a die gouge in the tiara. It has very slight translucent toning under a natural skin. Not a coin that I would considered toned by any means. I dont even know if I can pick up the toning in a pic but I will try.

 

@Kryptonite - Yes I am ancient. Its getting harder to see the dates on some coins without a loop. Its kinda depressing.....

I have to ask...were any of these worth the cost of grading, S&I?

 

I usually draw the line around a $100 value. And I'm sure that '44 67* Jefferson is gorgeous. But really, was this a wise expenditure?

Unfortunately without the plastic many are hesitant to buy toners. With the blessing of NGC, PCGS or ANACS the premium dramatically increases for toning. So I would have to say so.
