Post a Toned Coin

I have given you two images of the obverse due to the coin's toning being so dark. It is very attractive and alluring in hand.

I have provided three images of the reverse of my 1889 Morgan Dollar. I guess they turned out differently due to the different lighting I used. I am still trying to get decent photographs with my digital camera. These pretty much suck, but the toning on the reverse of this 1889 is awesome.

 

I can't even keep up with this thread. All of these coins are great. Thanks for sharing.

 

1944-D Jefferson nickel

 

The obverse of this 1958 proof Lincoln cent has some wild colors, but the reverse looks like it just woke up with a hangover.

 

1962 proof quarter

 

Hey Lance, if you don't mind me asking, what is the grade on that Morgan???

She's a beauty!!!

Sorry, coinsnake...I didn't notice this question until just now. PCGS graded her MS64.

For common dates, I like to find something special! This particular 1920 has a thumbnail size area of magenta along the bottom right, which I like, but it is just the right amount (beginning stages) of die erosion or micro grooving that gives this coin abnormally strong mint luster! It is a fun coin for my set and the only Lincoln I own with a star designation. NGC describes it as a MS 66* RB. I think it is a keeper.

Thats a real beauty.. I would love having one like that myself...........

 

Gimmie.

 

Did some re-imaging and finally figured out how to better capture the color on a few copper pieces. Not high grades or anything, but certainly pretty. I am more excited about actually capturing what they really look like in hand.

 

Beautiful

 

I really wish I had my new camera before I sold my $10 Indian set. Oh well....here are some plus a couple of other denoms:













The $10s and the last two Buffs I no longer own....

This coin has a light splash of pastel green that still lets a fair amount of red to pop through. This date stumped me pretty good in 65 and I found this toned one graded 65 RB walking the bourse at FUN 2011. I let it lay for a day as I thought about it's price and surfaces. I'm glad I pulled the trigger, as I seem to appreciate it more each time I look at it. I'm looking forward to attending this year if it all works out, we'll see.

Had to tilt this one quite a bit and shoot it freehand under my desk light to capture the color... but it's a pretty one!!!!

 

Nice colors on that one.. I've got a Morgan that has nice color but only in certain positions and would be hard to shoot as well.......

 

Great looking set there... thanks for sharing..
