Post a Toned Coin

I was not expecting these nickels to be this caliber! They are some of the nicest I have ever purchased raw, for chump change. All are full steps. The first two have a shot at 67 for sure. The 40-P looks like a 64.

Oh. My. God.

 

I am in love with the 40D. Can I take her out? I promise I'll have her home by 11.

 

She would be damaged goods then.

 

I don't always buy bullion, but when I do

 

So you've heard how I roll, eh??

 

BTW, if I've posted any of these before I apologize for that. I'm just too lazy to go back and check.

I am curious about something regarding toning and do not know if it warrants its own thread so I will just throw it out there and let the MODs decide.

If you could have your dream coin, doesn't matter what it is, in the TPG slab of your choice, graded MS70 or PF70/PR70, etc....and your choice was to have that coin as a perfect shiny silver coin like the day it rolled off the press, or colorized with some form of toning (rainbow, monotone, etc)....what would you prefer?

Personally, I would choose the perfectly silver version with no toning. The apex and motivation of coin collecting to me is to attain a coin that is old, rare, and in the EXACT condition as the day it was struck.

And I apologize if anyone takes this as an attack on toned coins. I own toned coins. I just thought I would catch the opinions of those that are passionate about toning and therefore might better understand that mindset in this thread.

 

I go both ways.

 

no surprises there

 

My first coin from krypto.

 

Not a coin but...

 

That poor Franklin

 

These nickels are beautiful. Look almost too good.
Will they be going in your ebay store? or are you going to send them off for grading?

 

I'd probably go for something with a little color. Blast white coins are great, but they look like very other blast white coin. Toned coins are like snow flakes, no two are the same. I like coins that have something different/unique about them and toned coins offer that.
