It looked like @Morgandude11 wanted to post some foreign toners.
Then you can post next.

 

I like seeing full slab photos because it can give a better idea of what the coin looks like. When people juice photos, the label and holder can help show that there was manipulation. When you just have the coin photo, it can be harder to tell.

I am happy to post some foreign ones. This is a 1967 UK Half Crown, graded MS 65+. It is the lowest pop for the date. Part of my PCGS toned UK coins registry.

 

I'll go with a 3
..it's nice but at least one step below the previous world coin we had.

 

Agreed. Nice, but the luster and pop just isn't there for anything higher than a 3. I like the color patterns, but it lacks the vibrancy of a higher level.

I wonder if part of that is due to it being a nickel based coin? It seems like, for the most part, luster is generally better on silver than nickel.

 

I agree with the 3. If it were more lustrous or rainbow I'd go higher.

 

Yes definitely. Silver coins tone more vividly than Cupro-Nickel ones. Morgans, due to their storage methodology tone more vividly than most other coins. “Battle Creek” degree of toning is rare, outside of the Morgan series.

I agree with 3. Mid 3. Next!

 

I would have also said 3. Sorry for slow reply.

 

@dddd and @Morgandude11 and @physics-fan3.14 :

I have a couple more I'd like to post eventually, but I think @physics-fan3.14 was going to post next?

 

NGC MS-65+* FBL:

 

It’s a 4 from me but only because the Rainbow toning coverage is limited on the reverse and blends into pastel colors. The rainbow toning that is there is spectacular, vivid, and undeniably original.

 

4. Agree with Lehigh's comments.

 

4, but a high 4. Rainbow is high quality, but limited coverage.

 

4 for me also - for the reasons Lehigh stated.

If this type of "wow" toning were on the obverse and on more of the coin it would be 5 to high 5!

As always, Jason - BEAUTIFUL coin!
