    What's up folks? It's been awhile since I posted new toners, but that doesn't mean I haven't been buying every damn one I see.
    Here a a few recent Canadians.

    1963 Cent - Gem with ridiculous blazing green neon.

    I'm not a huge fan of the toning on this necessarily (these are just ebay pics so may be better in person not sure yet) but I'm really happy with this pickup still because...

    1. 81-CC in GSA holders are scarce to begin with probably only around 100kish total left (official number was 147k which I assume a chunk has been cracked out who knows how many) and 296k total overall for that year and mint

    2. even scarcer there were only less than 100k GSA for all years that were deemed circulated and slabbed in GSA holders without "uncirculated" on them. So of those 100k maybe ~10-20k were 1881 (can't find numbers on this just estimating)

    3. of those 10-20k that were 1881 in a non-uncirculated GSA, I can't imagine too many graded out 64 or higher with unique toning

    So there you have it, I've convinced myself I made a nice rare pickup:

    Hehe. Yeah, I got 'em on the cheap. I thought they were interesting psychedelic tokens.

    Shot the 83-S in a warmer light and had to share the result.

    These little fifty cent Canadian buggers are addictive. I don't mind paying a bit of a premium for the toning because it brings a smile to my 3 year old daughter's face.

    Does this coin have merit simply on it's Obverse Toning alone or does it require more? In all the boxes of pennies searched in the past year, I have never found such a new cent with this type of obvious rainbow toning.
    All responses are welcome and appreciated so that I can learn about, what I believe is not that common, for a 1995 D Cent.
