Post your toned proofs!

Proofs can acquire some spectacular and gorgeous toning, especially copper proofs. Here's a new proof I just picked up - let's see some of your pretty toned proofs!

p.s. This proof is raw but I will be sending it to PCGS in a couple weeks - what do you think it will grade?

My first thought was proof 65, but really no clue on what it will grade - but it is a beauty. Thanks for sharing.

I used most of the good images last week. I guess I need to get busy with the camera.

Some nickels



the regular nickel isnt a proof, just there to show off the color of the others.

Wow, you all have some very nice proofs, especially Lee's - very pretty Indian cents, just love the colors! Even all the silver toned proofs are amazing - thanks for sharing! I would love to have that 1909 proof come back 66, but I'd be happy with 65 too. I'll be sure to let you all know when I get it back, but it will be a month or so. Any more proofs out there?
