Those matte proofs don't have sharp detail! They're blurry...oh wait, that's all my drool on the screen.
Which do you think this is: A ridiculous PCGS mistake or a counterfeit slab? Definitely NOT in MS state and definitely NOT FB......
Back from Robec: 1964 (Toned) Proof. Under indirect lighting (pictured below), the coin appears to exhibit rainbow colors and deep shades of green...
Hi all, Just wanted to post a link to my eBay page (dadof2boyz) -- I have quite a bit of toners including a Merc, Indian Head, and some slabbed...
Thanks; that was what originally drew me to the coin in the first place! The reverse reminds me of a smooth sea green and deep blue ocean/waves....
A retake from robec as well; finally does my most expensive coin in my collection justice: [IMG]
Favorite series: Lincolns (preferably wheat) Why? IMHO, it's the most widely collected (maybe besides Morgan collectors...but what do I know)...

Whoops...that make sense :) I didn't notice the "One Dollar" the the bottom...thought it was a (Silver) Half Dollar Commemorative!
+1. At first I mistook it for a gold coin! Beautiful tone and color!
On a serious note, would an ideal completely-sealed vacuum actually prevent all toning from occurring (since there's no elements/gases to react...
I agree with you. I'm starting to think that the "cameo" look came from the toning, not the actual strike. The cameo starts to "wear off" near the...
A few more shots at different angles... [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Hi all, Just picked up this proof which I thought seemed to have a nice cameo contrast. Now that I've taken some pictures of it, the cameo seems...
Looks like a lam to me. Nice find!
Just back from Robec. He really did an amazing job capturing the colors of this one. 1951 NGC PF64 RB with some nice cameo contrast. IMHO, it...
Do you happen to have the coin in hand? Those pictures make it look suspiciously AT...but beautiful Morgan either way!
