    1887 S$1 PCGS MS 65 - Nice end roll toning! From the Bob Campbell collection. He spent 25 years putting together the best end roll Morgan toned coin collection he could find.

    Speaking of 1936 proof cents--- When I was 7, my grandmother took me to see one of her friends who was a coin collector. He talked about mainly Lincoln cents, and after giving me a few from the '30s (I thought they were so cool because I could never find them in circulation, even though they were only 30 some-odd years old), he showed me some "special cents" that he had in a drawer of his china cabinet. There were about 4 or 5 1936 proof cents. "They are all worthless," he sighed, "because they all have spots on them."

    Older proof Jeffersons like this one seem to have toned very well in my old Library of Coins album

    Thanks :)

    To tell you the truth, I would guess that the grade is probably MS details, since it looked to have been cleaned when I bought it. But I don't care because it has somehow developed those fantastic colors in the 22 years that I have had it. :)

    Here's a rainbow toned, PL cent I found while roll searching. The pictures do it no justice, it's brighter and more colorful in hand. When I poured out the roll this coin was glowing like the sun!

    Bad pic because I had to tilt the coin to get the toning in the picture. Should have taken out of flip
