Pulled this out of a box last night. Man I wish I could get decent pictures. The obverse is all kinds of different purples and blues and the reverse is the same. I was only able to get a half way decent shot of the reverse. You get the idea though
I wonder if this will change a bit tone wise. coming from New York to Alabama??? Ngc new holder has yield me a few new colors to 3 so far?

Sweet toning on the 1963 quarter gbroke. I am looking for opinions on this Franklin if it is artificial or natural toning. Thanks in advance.
I figured it most likely was AT. I had never seen a Franklin with that vibrant of colors on it, so I took a chance on it. Here is my favorite mercury dime
That's a beauty of a toned merc! I'll expand a little on my comment. It's not that the colors are too vibrant, it's a couple other things. The colors themselves (bright purples, blues and golds) are indicative of rapid toning, the pattern is all wrong and the way it lays on the coin is wrong. The color transitions that occur naturally and over longer periods of time are not present on that Frankie. Here are a few examples of my Franks with vivid, natural toning.
My latest acquisition. Could not resist the amazing rainbow tone! MS 63, and would have been higher without the rim nick.
