Tinges of red....

Could very well be my favorite copper color. Anyone think there's a shot at 65BN? It has strong cartwheel luster under all that. This would be pretty sweet in a PCGS/CAC holder, eh?

 

Anyone care to guess on this one?

 

A rainbow toner for variety in my set. Matches pretty well on both sides. Album toning I would guess. With the finger print from when it was pushed in the hole? Ha ha

This coin has toned nicely on mint state details. My 30 P is 66 RD but I wont bore you with that here. A couple more days and I'm out of coin pictures for this thread. They all start getting too easy to keep my interest. Time to start looking for a few Matte Proofs I guess. I don't have any yet and those take on some super nice toning for sure.

67R and 66R

Coppermania, I'll be sorry to lose your set. The problem with my collection is that I placed almost equal emphasis on ALL 103 years so I'm just getting started.
I can't wait to show a lot of killer Memorials. Meanwhile my date run '34 to '58 is all 67R - except the '55DDO.

Ahhhhh....but there's some primo toners on the market from 33 up.....especially 1934.

Love the true rainbow toner! NICE!

 

I guess I'll be able to jump in sporadicly as this thread advances, I just stopped date and mint collecting at 1933. I appreciate ones ability to continue, I just needed to walk away to focus on other coin desires and I settled on that cut off point.

 

Sorry guys...some how I screwed up and posted 1930 when I should have 1929.

1931....lets just start with the key!

 

...mo...

Got this one for G money, it was in a fire....sad story.

 

How about a toner? Interesting, this coin is brown straight on, but things change quick at angles and when you shift the lighting around.

 

And of course....gotta have wood for every year.

 

My typical target grade 65 BN. the D is sort of a woodie but not very dramatic.

 

I sold this coin when I found the RB one beneath. Charmy has it now in her set, last I knew...

Interesting that NGC designated this one BN although my opinion says RB but it is borderline I guess. I wish I could find more coins with this deep RB effect and pay BN prices for them.

 

WOW! Eye poppers! The 31D is THE BOMB! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

The reverse of your 31-S looks to have the same sort of toning that my 31-D has on it. I've been wanting to slab mine but I feared they might bag it recolored. You gave me some confidence with that slab.
