66:thumb: I am sure your right!! I have all 3
1 ghirsh
2 ghirsh
and the 4 ghirsh in the photo the 4 is the only one that toned well!!!

 

This isn't crazy-toned but has a look I like. It's an O.106a, R3, PCGS AU58. Gobs of full luster and pleasant album toning. Exceptional strike, and very clean surfaces.

That is one gorgeous bustie...

 

My husband got this toned woody in change two days ago-I almost wish I wasn't so impatient to post it and take the time to get better pics because it is so much prettier in hand and the droid x pics just don't do it justice!

 

Very nice~~

I don't really like medals, but I love that one! Here is one to compete

 

Here is an 1856 Large Cent that I bought raw off eBay a few years ago. It shows a bit of green toning on the reverse. I paid roughly AU money for it at $163. I think I am going to send it into PCGS just to see if this will pass.

It was sold to me as an UNC coin, however since I bought this, I have lost confidence in buying raw coins off eBay so I have a feeling that this will get GENUINED by PCGS (low expectations are good when buying raw coins off ebay and then later when sending them in to be graded).

There are two issues that I can see that might be problematic:

1.) there is either a big hit just to the left of the L in LIBERTY or some sort of die crack or flaw? And a few small rim dings (bad enough to be an issue? not sure),

2.) I wonder about the spots of maroon color on the obverse, as seen behind her hair, on her jawline and nose, and just below the 8 on the date (almost looks like it might have been artificially retoned). Funny, the red spots almost remind me of paint spatters, although I am sure it's not paint.

I am thinking that, if it grades, perhaps it's an AU coin, maybe an outside chance at an MS61/62 or so (but I am not holding my breath on that one!). I am actually expecting a Genuine (mostly because raw coins on ebay are a roll of the dice).

 

I do like the colors on that one.. ~~ very nice..
