Post your modern CLAD toned coins!

Those are silver, aren't they? Also, why did the toning seem to peel off the neck of one of them?

1965-1969 Kennedy halves were silver clad consisting of 40% silver.

I don't have an answer as to why the toning has that appearance. Both are graded by NGC.

 

The outer layer (the part that would tone) is 80% silver. That's why they are able to tone relatively well.

I'm shocked that NGC would slab those. The reverse looks like it was toned/colored at one point, since the gap areas have color incuse.

 

I appreciate your comments. The look and characteristic of the toning undoubtedly appears different in hand as opposed to looking at a non 3D image.

I also believe these coins toned well better than "relatively well".

 

I have some I want to share but I'll have to wait until after Christmas to open my new camera and see if it takes good coin pics.

 

I meant the silver clad coins, in general, not the ones you posted. Those are exquisite.

 

here are a couple i found today. i opened about 60 1979 and 1980 proof sets for the first time and found 90% of them toned gold and some with blue/purple/gold/pink rainbow type patterns. and i had never noticed the blue '62 proof nickle either.

 

I found this 1965 sms at the Local coin shop yesterday. Still in the mint cello. No envelope.

 

Found this flipping through some coin folders, shame about the scuff on the obverse.
