John here is what the variety looks like mine the 8 is filled with crud. But the long lip is there and other pups are also pointing to the variety.

Hi all, my first post. It's not "old" per se, but it is "older" than 1981 (now 37 years old). It's a beautiful nickel, out of a proof frosted set I acquired around or about the same year from my cousin, when we were trading coins.

 

1968 Canadian Silver 50¢ piece, almost uncirculated

 

It didn't post the obverse for some reason.

 

a hole filler 1956 toned quarter. I see the scratches. it was cheap and just a filler until I find a high grade 1. sellers pics...

 

Thought I had a dot penny but no dice but since it still the year of a dot penny!?

 

Much better condition than mine!

 

1966 toned 10 cents. sellers pics...

 

Can someone please tell me what a "toned" coin is, and how it arrives at that grade? It's not actually a grade, is it?

 

Toned just means the coin is tarnished to some extent giving it a color other than that of the bare metal which some people might find attractive. For example, most large cents such as US, Canada and Great Britain normally acquire a chocolate brown color with age and normal handling. Most silver coins will get some black tarnish with age. Toning is a beauty which is subjective and is in the eye of the numismatist.

 

I bought it for the toning not sure if that is the grade of this coin.

 

Picked up a couple of Five cents (apologies for the quick shots)
an 1898
&
1899

 

Those are beautiful coins, love the details in the hair. Compare to this worn specimen I have.
