    Well, it was another expensive weekend at the Witten household. I picked up SEVERAL gold toners (I couldn't believe how many I found this past week for sale!). Not all have arrived yet, so some of these are seller pics. Here they are.

    Just curious, you show the price and grade of the 8 R. What did PCGS grade the Indian? Thanks.

    The 1/10 Oz. is my favorite.;)

    She knows, haha. And surprisingly, there were no $2 1/2 in this group. The Indian is a $5 this time.

    Nice looking bunch of golds! I'm a little surprised that the 2004 is so deeply toned. Must be from sulfur in the cardboard holder.

    1820 Columbia is amazing! And the 1/10 bullion coin, hell, they are all amazing!

    I bet really nicely!! Toned slabbed coins always pose a bit of a problem though. Getting the color to pop without getting the reflections from the plastic is a real balancing act. But with a gorgeous coin, it's worth every moment.

    Like them all, the 1/10th oz looks really cool though. Nice variation to the generic modern coin look.

    I really like the first and third coin in first post the best. I really like the way those 2 look in the pictures. Great pick-ups.
