I see you're big into toned coins. Do those have great value too?

 

This is my favorite.

 

1856 FE

1877 IHC

1909 S VDB Lincoln

 

1909-S Indian Head Cent
1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent
1909-O Barber Quarter

2/3 so far... hope to get the third soon

 

Lehigh, you are "The man" when it comes to toning so I'm not questioning it, but what is that white substance on the Morgan? Could u educate as to why that is not a detractor to the coin (or maybe it is). Tx

 

It is breaks in the toning. It really does not determine value definitely as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

It is just breaks in the toning and for many it is a detractor. For me, it increases the originality of the coin. I love the coin the way it is and was able to pick it up with absolutely no premium.

 

Mercery Dime
Standing Liberty Quarter
Walking Liberty Half

 

I agree with those. And to be more specific I'll say the 1916-D Merc, 1921-D Walker and 1916 SLQ.

 

Here are my 3 favorites. Traci

 

HOLY FLIPPIN' FLAPJACK!

Lehigh, how many times are you going to amaze me? You coins are just amazing, and they are always something for my eyes to feast on

 

nice clash!

And very scarce.

Did you cherrypick it?

 

I cannot post pics yet, but my top three came from my dads collection, 1895-s morgan, 1820/19 Bust Half, 1825 Bust Half

 

Sure did. Also cherrypicked the other two clashes.

 

My pick:
Morgan Dollar

Standing Liberty Quarter

Walking Liberty Half

 

Larry:
Wow! You have the set? I am really impressed! And I ain't kidding.
Folks, these are scarce pieces.

Nice!

 

My picks:

Morgans
Indian cents
Walkers
Any Ultra Cameo Proofs after 1970

 

1) peace dollars
2) walking lib halves
3) I've been buying some large cents for my 7070 and I might be getting hooked on early coppers. this could be very bad for the bank account.
