Post a Toned Coin

Mine is not cam or dcam, just a common PF67...but silver toned. No blues are in it.

Cool color no matter what!!
All I was saying 1964 Proof Lincoln memorial cents in high grades are not easy to get

 

Raw...for now.

 

Thanks MKent. It is Top Pop 2/0 for the Brown Designation. I have only had it for a couple of weeks and it has brought me plenty of joy, especially when I showed it around to folks at Summer FUN.

 

I stopped by a shop that I had not been to
in about 4 years. It actually isn't far
from me but it is small. I walked out with
a new toy. I was actually watching an almost
identical coin on eBay this weekend that sold
for $66 but it was only PCGS PF66 RB and had
some spots/streaks/distractions.

This example has fewer distractions and I paid
considerably less than the above mentioned example.
I think that's a win! I spent way too much time
on the photography tonight as I have had a
plethora of challenges with the photography of
proof toners through slabs recently and think I
figured a few things out and did a little better
on this one. Still far from perfect...

 

Currently raw...

 

If you are not familiar with Tiger's Eye, take a look at it in Polished Form. Just go to Google and type in Tiger's Eye.

I found this in a 1976 Proof Set today. Really flashy and cool obverse. I photographed
it in the Proof Set so the images are not the best but still good enough. I'm still having
challenges photographing proof toners but I think I am making progress. I have not
seen something like this before and it really STANDS OUT in the Proof Set.

What do you think?

 

I guess that would be a woody, but I have never seen one with a pattern quite like that. And it is one sided.

 

I agree, I would have referred to it as wood grain toning had it not been for the proof coin and the great luster, making it look like a polished Tiger's Eye stone.

 

Woodies are definitely not excluded from proofs. Some of the prettiest coins I have seen are the early matte proofs - many are woodies. And;

 

I searched a bunch of proof sets today. I bought two 1961 proof sets because of these nickels.

 

It was a good day at the mailbox... these are the latest I got from one of our own...

 

And a couple of 64 Kennedys that I am totally intrigued with

 

and a great 1960 Franklin

 

all are the same coin
