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

Some very nice proofs here - thanks for sharing. Of course I love the 1905 proof Indian, and that Jefferson nickel is pretty amazing too! Ttoned proofs are really pretty works of art, so keep em coming!

By the way, not trying to promote my coin photographer or anything like that :whistle:, but let me just say that Todd (bluccphotos.com) really does take amazing photos, so if any of you want some keeper pictures of your toned coins - check him out!

WOW Leadfoot, those are some truly amazing proofs!

 

Mark, that 1873 looks like it has some very pretty colors!

 

Mark, how does this look?

 

Thanks for the kind words. Not bad for a snyde collector, eh?...MikeInFL

 

Leadfoot, that Liberty Nickel is my favorite liberty nickel ever

 

By the way Magman, I hear you're going to join us for poker Friday night in Long Beach! Can't wait (hope you brought lots of money!). Looking forward to meeting you in person too!

 

hah, I will be bringing money, but not very much for poker.
I'm more of a blackjack player

 

no casino this time mag, we are playing at a private residence.........

Rick, Charmy and I will be easy on you tho, our pay as you learn plan:smile

 

and I'll take it easy on you 3...
Awesome toners guys and gals! Paul... I don't think charmy has seen your awesome proof toned IHC. You know the one....

 

I could use better pics....

 

I've posted this one before, but it deserves a second shot.

 

hah yeah. I was hoping you would play at a casino, so I could make big bucks while you guys are playing poker

yeah sure

just this last sunday, magman and i were discussing the red 1961 proof sets..... his coins, your coins and my coins all like they came from the same storage bin.......all red and all very similar
i have the red quarter and the red half...my lincoln and jeffy were not so lucky as to tone so attractively

 

I made a little collage for one of my coin buddies (chameleoncoins)
He is a seller on ebay, and he has his own site for toned coins, and I highily recommend him, anyway, I made this, these are pics of some of his beauties

 

Yup, I actually posted the Red Quarter here in the first page.
My Half is similar to yours as well, but my Lincoln toned nicely, so did my Jefferson (violet).

Strange...

edit heres my half:





and the reverse of the Lincoln:



and the Jefferson (although this one is 1964, but the 61 looks the same), along with a gold one, and a AU war nickel

 

Here's one for ya, Charmy... since you like copper, I thought I would serve up a copper half dollar.

Longacre's French Liberty head, struck in copper with reeded edge. 1859, J-242.
.

 

NOW THAT IS A COIN!!! Very nice, and the toning is superb! AWESOME!
Thank you for sharing

 

Even with the high price of copper, it's worth more than melt.

 

Since Mike posted his Satin Proof Buffalo, I feel compelled to post mine.
