I think maybe I posted this in the "NEWPS" thread? I can't remember. Picked this one up from Ankur about 2 weeks ago for my type set.

 

WOW! That's an absolute KNOCKOUT! Exactly how a coin of that age should look...nice man.

I know little about these, but is that an AU or EF grade...I'm guessing AU.

 

I watched a LOT of these sell in the past 6 months in the XF40 to AU55 range. I never pulled the trigger because I was looking for something very particular. This one is graded XF45, with a CAC green bean. It was definitely worth the wait.

 

I have never really been a fan of toned coins. That said, I have seen many that looked really nice, rainbow and neon types of colors best.

I have alway's thought it was silly not not want coins as pristine as they could be and as close to stamping condition as possible. But that is not the world we collect in. As such I have a lot of tones coins as do you.

But I do not seek them out and if I have a choice between a perfect untoned coin, and a rainbow of the same coin, I am going for perfect.

 

An 1886-1887 Morgan birage

 

I know she's not much to look at from the front, but what a rear. I haven't seen much orange on a coin before.

 

Picked both of these up in the past week.

 

Here's one I got back from NGC about a month ago.

 

Those are some primo toners. I like the pastel shades and the subtle tones. I'm drooling here...lol!

 

Nice to have Lehigh back around to put everyone in their place.. nice morg's there big man.
Tater.. beauty there too.
Here are a couple new'uns from the cheap seats...

 

I really like that dime. It has a very unique tone on it.

 

1838 2 Pence Mandy NT for sure!!!
Will be going to Ngc or Pcgs asap!!:kewl:

 

Not my favorite type of toning, but I wanted to mix things up a little bit:

Here's a new one. It's on its way, don't have it in hand yet. PCGS MS 64. Could have cared less about the grade on this one.

 

I would buy the bottom one, give you a nice lil margin as well.
She's a beauty even if AT

 

Got this one a little while back, just got around to getting a pic of it. Nothing special but has a pretty tone to it on the front.

 

My 2c

Wow Very nice TJ!!:thumb:
Pcgs is always under-graded a toned coin for a John Q Public. if submitted by H.A. or Stacks etc had it graded would be a MS-65/67 :kewl:
