The Monster Toned Coin Game Thread

4.5. Very attractive pastel rainbow toning on both sides. Good coverage, and nice blend of colors. Not a monster, but a mid high level toning job. I like the coin.

I really don’t know what to make of this. What year was this minted?

 

These have been continuously restruck from 1780 to modern times. It's possible to get a rough idea of an era but not the exact date. This one is most likely from the 20th century.

 

I have to admit I am sort of a oddball toned coin collector.

 

I missed out on the 1985-S Proof Jefferson, I was house sitting for a few days, but I would have gone 4.1 on it. I really like the target toning.

The Thaler, I really like and would go 4.6

 

I do have a new pick up I would like to put up when you have an opening. It might be worthy for this thread. It is raw though.

 

Thaler is attractive but not quite a monster. These often tone up on both sides with an extreme amount of colors. 4.9
Putting @ryang74 80S into play. That is some interesting toning that I would almost call questionable if it weren't for the 100$ bag of 70's and 80's lincoln cents I bought a few years ago, most had these tones. I like it 5.0

 

The Lincoln Penny is a 4.0 not wild about toned Coppee proofs.

 

We will let the Thaler run and the 80-s cent.
I'm at 3.9 on the cent...interesting and unusual but not quite the color for a higher score

@jtlee321 you can go after these two are done (likely tomorrow evening)

 

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the 1980-S Lincoln Cent. I'm at a 3.5 on it. It may score higher if I saw it in hand.

 

2.0 on the Lincoln

I had the Thaler at 5.1. These occasionally come with nice toning but I have not seen a better example yet.

@ryang74 please let us know your score on the cent

@jtlee321 you are up...

 

Well this one is new. I just picked it up on Friday. It is raw, but I just could not pass it up for the price I paid. I've been looking for an example like this for a while now. In case you didn't notice, I've also made it my new avatar photo.

 

5.8

 

6.0

I call that a monster!

 

Wow, total beast for a nickel. 6.0

 

That there Buff is gorgeous. 6.5 from me on that beauty. I have been looking for one like that for years as well but the price tags I have seen are far more then I could fathom to pay.

 

5.0 for me on the Lincoln cent

 

6.5 for the Buffalo wow that’s nice!!
