    Couldn't resist the one. Already own a 66*, but this 65 has great eye appeal as well.

    Some noobs this week.

    The nicest toned, 20 Centavos I have ever seen. Lustrous super gem.
    These are hard to find in any color except brown.

    Couple more clad Kennedy toners. I think I'm the only one who collects toned, modern clad coins. ;)

    You have the knack for finding the coolest color. Not only that you are a great photographer of the pieces you find as well. I never see anything like these on the BAY and with the nearest coin shop 50 miles away and only one coin show a year within 100 miles eBay it is for me. Keep posting those beauties I for one enjoy them.

    I actually found the centavos on eBay for $12 (what a steal). Overall I would say that half of the toners I buy, are from eBay. However, I spend many hours looking through thousands of listings. I specifically try and find coins from sellers who take terrible images or even scan the coins. The images are usually a terrible representation of the coins in hand. It's a gamble I don't always win. ;)

    All of your coins are face melters. @gbroke and @WingedLiberty are the two reasons I started collecting toners. I looked at hundreds of their coins before I finally joined CT and really started collecting. Thank you two!

    This is my recent pick up. Sits in a 1958 proof set. The red made it really stand out to me and I had to have it.

    Speaking of gambles. I bought this on a whim. The set arrived and the toners are real stunners. The Washie is an even golden tone on both sides with gorgeous luster. The Jeff is too hard to describe. Has purples, etc...The lincoln is very odly toned. I doubt it grades. I plan to submit this set for grading. The Kennedy is very nice. At the correct angles it's just very colorful.

    Sorry, but only a link to the auction:
