Chesdin Point Toned Peace Dollar Collection.
Album Toned

Owner Comments:

This coin exhibits a delightful royal blue toning on both the obverse and reverse that emanates from the periphery inward in a very natural color progression. This is highly reminiscent of the toning seen on album toned silver dollars from other eras. The coin was likely placed in a album consisting of a paper or cardboard, and sulfur and other chemicals likely leached onto the coin along the periphery and began the toning cascade that eventually progressed inwards. It is very ironic that such a gorgeous piece resides in a PCGS holder given that David Hall, a PCGS founder, current President of Collectors Universe (a PCGS parent company), and member of the PCGS Board of Experts, has effectively declared rainbow toned Peace Dollars, to include those with blue toning, "is absolutely artificially toned." The coin would not look out of place in a higher graded holder.
