As promised I re-imaged these two Kennedy's. I managed to get different shots manipulating the light. Let me know what you think:
1966 Kennedy Half Coin #1

1966 Kennedy Half Coin #2

 

Nice Golden toned 1948s Washington---MS 66 second finest low pop.

 

This is on its way to its rightful home.

 

Got this nice, toned better date-low mintage peace dollar, that has attractive toning:

 

You mean my house??

 

I started digging through the boxes of miscellaneous coin folders and what not that I accumulated when I first started collecting.
Pretty much as expected, it is a mini hoard of face value coins.
I opened and glanced through all the albums and folders to see if anything was worth promoting to the first string collection.

Not much talent in the bunch until I opened this push style, tri-fold album.


This guy caught my eye.




It certainly didn't look like that when I pushed it in there 4 years ago. I must have had some left over egg salad on my finger.

This one had a little something going on, but none of the other ones did.

Toned Rev white Obv .

 

Okay--common date, Gem condition, toned, and PL, with a CAC. Does it get better? Any other date, other than the 80-81-82s and it gets a 66 also. My newest Morgan:

Salsa time.



Couple of dollars.

 

Think I remember those Canadian halves on the bay. Almost got em!

 

Played coins with a CT member today. I ended up with these stunners.

 

are these A.T. or N.T. ???

 

gbroke was kind enough to take a few pics for me last night

 

They are 100% N.T. A lot of the Canadian small cents during that time (1940's - 1960's) get this same type of iridescent toning. Most end up with greens/purples.
