    Now I know where you get your name. After seeing the many many beautiful toned coins just here in CT, I'd be G-BROKE too!:hail:

    Nice. I have one that looks very similar that I got for +2 over spot a couple weeks ago. I will try to take pics tomorrow outside if it isn't snowing.

    I picked one of these up at spot insanely toned as well last year on a trip out west. I should snap some pics. I noticed these are fetching upwards of 100-110$ on ebay if the toning is nice. Tempted to sell as the one i snagged has amazing yellow radiating on the queen side to a rainbow rim then rainbow red and blue on the reverse. These really tone uniquely.

    Yeah, the tone is very choice on the few that I have seen toned. Mine was in the original mint box, and I noticed that they placed a small piece of foam in the box, I wonder if that is what causes them to tone.

    I picked these up a couple of months ago from my local dealer. He had an older couple bring in a roll of morgans. Some had some neat tone on them.

    not sure if any of them are wild enough to send in for slabbing, but they were nice pick ups for me.

    This is fun, although its making the night very late. I took the pics of the above morgans than I remembered about this washington quarter that I picked up at a hair above spot about 6 months ago.

    It looks like old mint set toning but who knows the reverse of the coin is why I picked it up.

    I don't have much in the toned copper department. Here are some that really appeal to me though. It's all about the greens to me.

    Green and copper usually don't go hand in hand and means bad things are going on with the copper, but this case that green looks awesome, almost as good as John Deere green :)

    That's one thing that I do not have toned copper.
