Post a Toned Coin

I was curious because I just bought one if the same year myself. Nice coin!

Thank you. I have a book on on German Talers by John Davenport. Unfortunately the only years it documents are from 1700 - 1800. My intention was to start collecting them more seriously, but I got side tracked.

Can you share a picture of your coin?

 

The coin looks a little better than this in hand even. It's pretty reflective on the reverse.

 

Unbelievable!

 

Thanks! I was hoping the seller photos were accurate and not over emphasizing the color and luster. Sometimes coins are darker than seller portrays but this one ended up being much nicer in hand.

 

Certainly is beautiful. Nice Taler!

 

This is a really interesting coin because of the grade. At AU53 I don't often think of toning lasting, but on this one it is still there. There is a little question in my mind about this being just a really abused coin at the Mint versus a circulated coin. But PCGS obviously thought it was circulated.

 

Here is another one and I have gone around and around on whether this is technically a toned coin or just one that is not attractive. I finally settled on toned, but with not enough to be learned from it to make it anything special.



This is a VAM 5 - O/O Right, Doubled 1 and a Hit List 40 coin so very desirable from that perspective. Much larger images are here http://www.1881o.com/35030681_63_05.html

Thoughts?

 

Looks like this might have toned in a album.

 

Very nice John! I also like your 1910 Lincoln!

 

Might be right. Often the rim toning comes from that type contact.

 

Here's one of mine that I think toned in an album. Similar pattern, Cobalt blue on the rims, with varying shades of copper in the center.

nice coin and I am partial to blue on them for some reason

my toned collection is posted on the bottom of this page http://www.1881o.com/toned-coins.html and I have a lot of information on that page about toning and color stages coins go through

 

Just got this one in and not a bag toned coin. Not sure what caused the toning but certainly one sided contact.

 

Another in a series of AT proofs I got as a set.

 

If you don't like toning or woodgrain don't look.
