@Maxim Hofstede , I'm sorry to see you leaving CT. Yes, I agree your baptism on the site was a little rough, but IMO, you brought some of that on...
@Mat , everytime I look at this thread, it seems you're adding something to your ancient collection! Based on what you've posted, I believe it to...
The Winged Liberty Dime is one of my favorites. If you enjoy the series, than go for it.
Thanks. I did pay some premium for it, but no where near monster toning premiums.
One of my favorite Morgan's. Not a monster toner, but I just love the "end roll" look to this one. The coppery center toning really "lights up"...

I have an eclectic mix of modern bullion, early US coins and World Coins. I have not added any Ancients yet. For example, I have a complete set...
I agree with Lehigh96. This picture has been enhanced. I've viewed many of this buyers toners in the past and I've come away with the same...
