Toning beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do not mind some subtle golden toning - but the other stuff gets too wild for my tastes.
I agree with this. As scrap silver I think you did fine, but there might have been some key dates involved.
I might have to try some of those Edge type holders. Personally I have been using the ringed airtites. I have to find that other link to see if...
Hi my name is Mark and I am a coin collector....:) Welcome to the club...you now have the disease. Enjoy the hobby. :)
Sorry to say the pictures make me think this coin is polished. Of course it could just be the pictures - can you try some with better lighting....
Missed that -- I am sure a few hackles will rise when they see that. LOL - your coins do what you want. :)
LOL - I think they all have a little age to them. :) But I know what you mean. Now if only somebody would slap you silly for being a tease. :)
OKAY - I get to change my opinion and post it on the board --- 206 is now my final opinion. :)

Well everyone has their own eye appeal factor - while I agree with you all on the franklin, I won't speak for others. I looked at a few other...
Here is a place that sells them for $40 -http://www.shipwreckstore.com/product.asp?pn=301658&bhcd2=1225675693. Still trying to find the real deal.
Either the pictures are bad or it is brown. It is hard to tell with the proofs - but from looking at heritage they must use something different...
Interesting replica. Wonder what the real one was like.
That is exactly how mine worked - except I did not receive the coins the day after the check. I would have rather have had the coins. I think...
ksparrow - your thumbnails work for me. Sundance - don't worry you can find some well struck lower grade pieces also. Personally I like them...
ksparrow you might want to fix the links. I used cut and paste on my browser to see the coin. That is a sweet 1829. Now if Sundance would just...
