[QUOTE="Blue Lue Boyle, post: 2242969, member: 75509"]Good morning. I generally try to preface any questions with a showing of respect to the vets, because I am relatively new, and I appreciate those who have been in the game for a long time yet still carry themselves as decent, helpful, and mindful of the a fact that everyone was a novice at one point. Having said that, any opinions on these coins are much appreciated. One (1950) is just a toned coin that I've had for a long time, actually bought it at a yard sale years ago and was told it was a naturally toned coin at the time of purchase. The price was low enough so that I didn't really feel inclined to question it, plus I liked the looks of it regardless, but I am curious, does it appear to be a natural tone? The pictures probably don't do it justice, I took one outdoors under clouds, the other indoors under incandescent lights. It has almost like a vignette style background on the obverse, the reverse, as you can see, is nothing special. Other coin is a 1955 penny, and I know that there's a double dye error associated w/ this year, and I've found it hard to detect that error. I mean, with some, it's easy to see, very prominent, but I've seen coin collectors sharing double dyed 1955 pennies where any evidence of the error was so subtle that it's practically undetectable. This one here, it looks like the last 5 in the date has some traces of double dye towards the right of the 5, but I don't know if that's something else entirely. Thanks for your time.[/QUOTE]
