Taste the rainbow - Jefferson Album Toning

Most of you know my propensity to purchase raw Jefferson's, low grade, high grade, doesn't matter. It's a problem either way.
So I scooped up about 70 Jefferson's straight from an album.
Not all are rainbow toned, some are downright nasty, while others didn't tone at all.
Whatever, I love em all!
Just some beautiful coins, at a very inexpensive price. Thought I would share.

Here are some highlights:


























More modern ones, harder to find naturally toned:









Some had dripping luster:





Even the proofs joined the toning party. I only imaged one so far:

Gorgeous collection!

 

LOVE the '51-S. All of them are gorgeous though.

 

I don't like toning on any coin except the nickel. Those have really nice toning. Nice pick-ups, G!

 

Did you buy an old album? The circular toning looks like it. - edit, sorry I didn't see you already said it was from an album

 

Was this a Dansco off ebay? I had my eye on a BU one that closed way over what I was looking at spending.

 

These were all purchased on ebay through a fellow cointalk member. The rest of the coins from the album are still on there, including the key dates. I cherry picked the ones I liked best lol.
Here is a link to them, even though he won't respond to my PM's. What's up with that Motts?

Here are his original images from the auction. He is more of a bulk selelr when it comes to things like this, so no need for him to be taking awesome imaegs of each coin in the lot. I could tell from the images that they were something I wanted, and would most definitely look good in hand. I was surprised they had as much lister as they did though. Especially the 47 set.

 

Love em gobroke , great pics too .

 

Nice looking set of nickels, love the toning.

 

Like like like like like!!!

 

Thanks for the post gbroke. I just bought the 1940 P for my toned nickel set. Been looking for a 1940 seems like forever. Now if I could just find somebody with a really nice 53-S and 56-D. (hint)

 

Sweet Coins!

 

GREG! I am sooooooo sorry I didn't receive your PMs. What the heck? They never went to my private email saying "You have one new private message at cointalk.

 

Greg,

Your images have improved by leaps and bounds since last year. I am very impressed. I absolutely love the 1953-D and the obverse on the 1956-D is dynomite!

Very pretty blast white 70's coins as well.

Paul

 

Thanks Paul. Imaging coins has almost overcome the actual pleasure of collecting for me. I always look forward to taking a break from the hustle and bustle of family and work to sit down and shoot a few dozen pictures.
Man ,what's wrong with me.

 

Thanks to gbroke's post, I bought the 1940 P from Mott. Got it and love it! Fast shipping, great coin! Been needing that nickel for a very long time. Really happy with it.

 

Fantasic!

 

i need to really learn how to get good photos of my coins. i have close to 200 graded/raw colorful jeffersons. not to mention pennies, dimes, quarters, halves and dollars

 

Absolutely nothing, by my estimation.

 

Gorgeous coins.
I love that tranluscent cobalt blue that appears on album Jeffs...
I've got a few myself. I wish I could take decent pics...
Great job!
