    In addition to the four I posted back in Post #8343, here are some more. A lot more, as it happens. I wasn't always a toned coin enthusiast, but I suppose it gradually crept up on me over the last decade or so. Like most people, I like colors, but I'm also a fan of attractive grey toning on silver coins.

    It's crazy how different these 60's proof Jeffersons look under diffused and direct lighting.

    Just finished imaging this for vivid_coins (on eBay and Instagram). This looks like a Proof, but is a business strike graded MS67+BN. Prettiest one I have ever seen.

    Thought this one looked familiar! I have one struck between 1339-42 so several decades before yours. Overall just some subtle changes, mine Doge and St Mark (that's who my notes say they are at least) are both facing the camera + a few other little differences. Cool coins though.
