Ok edited a few more. Here's a couple of my favorite "unusual pattern" toners. One is a double sided "tape" toner. It's the only double sided I've ever seen. Bought it raw for $30 and it came back a clean 64.

The other is quite unusual. I call her "Stormy" and I'd like to think she's a Redfield peach Morgan. A very unusual terminal textile toner. Also bought raw and came back righteous.

 

A couple more favorites...

 

And some honorable mentions...

I highly suggest, if anyone wants top-notch pics of their toners, or any coin, you get in touch with Todd at www.blucc.com or here, his handle is @blu62vette I almost get more enjoyment from looking at his pics of my coins than I do looking at the coins themselves. And just a disclaimer that Todd is in no way paying me or asking me to write this, I just absolutely love his pics

 

Beautiful...beautiful....beautiful toned silver and non-silver coins (LOL). Thanks to all of you for sharing your treasures. Till next time, keep collecting and smile while you do it!!!!!

 

Ron. You dirty dog you. Keep em coming brother!

I really want that textile 81s btw

 

I posted this before - nice little rainbow thing goin' on ( silver, to keep with the topic )

 

Gone to the Dark Side.

 

I like it but not as much as the rose... It's the brother to my "Stormy" morgan above what's the reverse look like?

 

You're killing me with that Texas robec!

 

It's the Lone Star of my collection. I was lucky enough to have snagged it within minutes of it being posted.

 

Well brag a little more why don't you and let us know what you stole it for or was it seemingly overpriced but you just had to have it

That's really the only commemorative I like design wise and that gorgeous fire is just killing me! Only thing that would make it better is a small green box that has the embossed name of Col. EHR Green on it

 

I can't brag about the price. I knew I would have to pay up or risk the chance of not seeing another one like it and probably paying even more.

 

I think this thread could use a few ancient toned silver coins.

I appreciate the fact that people are aware about the "Silver" toning mistake I made. I am human and so are you. I really appreciated those that understood what I meant and post silver or non-silver toned coins for the viewing pleasure of the CT forums. Thanks to all and hope that all father's had a great Father's Day celebration.

 

Here are my little 'ol four cheap Morgan's that sit in my book.

 

@Jason Hoffpauir gave me permission, so here are some copper toners in no particular order.
