I'd Love to See Some of Your Favorite Toned Proofs!

Proofs tend to have some spectacular toning, in all kinds of rainbow colors, not to mention laser cut features. Now I know it's sometimes hard to get good photos of the toning on top of the mirrors, but l'd really love to see some of your toned proof beauties. To get this started, here are three of mine: Two Cent, Indian, and Lincoln proofs:

Beauties, although I have nothing to contribute. I must sit on the sidelines and watch

 

Same for me, nothing to say or post, other than
NICE ONES PENNY LADY!!!
Can't wait to see some of the others..

 

I don;t own any toned proofs. Those are very nice coins

 

I have toned proofs

unfortunately, taking good pictures of them is out of my ability. lol

edit:

tried on this red quarter
The pictures don't show that it still has it's shiny luster

 

Here's some average pictures of a decently toned proof and a bad picture of some nice ones.

 

Here's one the Penny Lady may appreciate:

 

I'm not a fan of pink, but I DO like that penny!

 

i too must sit and watch for now. i will attempt to find some old ones on my home pc later this evening, untill then i am laptop bound and dead in the water

 

Here are 2 Washington Quarters... Sorry for my photos...

A purple haze around the rim...




This one is rainbow and golden...

 

I really only have one and I can't get pictures of the blue and red. Really cool. Will try again tomorrow in the sunlight.

 

Awesome proof toners Penny Lady and Leadfoot!

 

I'd be interested in seeing a little better pics of this one! It looks great

 

Heck yeah ! That's one everybody can appreciate ! Nice work, Mike.

I'll try to throw one down tonight you guys will like.

 

Here is the best I could do - 1873 closed 3 with flaw. The red looks so nice and the reverse is completed red like the outer edges on the obverse(no picture). If you look real close you can see the lint type scratch from the mouth to curl above the ear. I really like the strike on the indian proofs. The 1878 has the best strike of all here. I like the way the feathers tips are so complete.

 

GOSH! Mark that is a beauty!!!

Makes my jaw, well... DROP!
Simply amazing! I love the way proof indian heads look (Especially yours )

 

I'm excited!:thumb:

 

Here are a few more from my meager collection (the majority of which have been posted in this forum in the past):











Have fun....Mike
