You're getting flash back from your camera you need to correct the angle. Otherwise
nice coins and grades, I like the toning on some of the coins. Thanks for sharing.

 

Is the reverse of the 58D Franklin toned as well? That is classic mint set toning, and I like it.

 

It’s not toned.

 

I would struggle to pick a favorite from that group.

 

It’s tough. From a technical standpoint the dime, because it’s a top pop by 1 point.

 

When we are talking toning, technically is often not best.

That dime is currently, technically, top pop (for soapbax Anacs... a small segment). Dip it, and it drops 2-3 points guaranteed. A white coin with fewer flaws is not top pop.

Realistically, a top pop should be nearly flawless technically and also have extraordinary eye appeal. Otherwise, I just can't get excited.

And in the case of that dime... I just can't get excited.

 

A merc and two Rosie’s. This Kennedy might became a placeholder or the beginning of a toned proof set. I’m not sure I want to go down that rabbit hole too.
