Opinions Wanted 1992 Silver Eagle with Toning
I'm by no means an expert in coins so the groups opinions are wanted, I
purchased 2-1992 American eagle one ounce silver dollar, the ones in the plastic hard cases back in 1992, back then the coins were fresh looking so now after all these years of it sitting in my drawer the natural toning has started around the rim on the front and back of the coin, does this make it more desirable to collectors or what??? I know the older 1800's toned ones go for big $$...just courious ...I'll give a link of some pics I took.....thanks in advance for the opinions! http://members.cox.net/chouse1/1992a.jpg http://members.cox.net/chouse1/1992b.jpg http://members.cox.net/chouse1/1992c.jpg Tina |

"Tina" tossed out the question:
...after all these years of it sitting in my drawer the natural toning has started around the rim on the front and back of the coin, does this make it more desirable to collectors or what??? ... While there are indeed many coins with dramatic toning that command a premium (sometimes a BIG premium) from those enthusiasts who like toned coins, I don't see such toning on your coin.

It's nice as it is, but give it more time and see what other colors develop.
So far so good, I would say. --Keith |

I see many marks that lead me to believe that it has been. If it has, it is worth one ounce silver. The snap-close silver eagle cases don't seal well. Often moisture acts on the surface of the coin, causing cloudy milk spots. Cloudiness is not desirable in the current market. I don't know about toning, because I don't see many toned silver eagles. In the future it may increase the value. Anita |

I assumed it was just a thumb print but there could be wiping too esp. on
the reverse. --Keith |

I see many marks that lead me to believe that it has been. If it has, it is worth one ounce silver. Looks like yes, it has been wiped. Thumb smudges look a lot like that, based on my own tests.

I don't know about toning, because I don't see many toned silver eagles. In the future it may increase the value. Maybe it's just me, but I can't imagine anything other than high mint states ever being worth more than bullion value on these? ----------------- No I never wiped the coins...the holder has scratches on the case...I don't handle them with kid gloves so to speak...so finger prints could be on them....back to the drawer they will go ..thanks gang!
