<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 423686, member: 15309&quot;]This is very tough for me because my coins are hard to rank either by eye-appeal or by monetary value.&nbsp; I will post my top five coins whose price was basically unaffected by toning.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>1.&nbsp; 1897 Indian Head Cent NGC PF66* RB CAMEO:</b>&nbsp; This coin is the king of my collection without a doubt.&nbsp; Vivid shades of magenta, pink, and yellow envelop both sides of this beautiful coin. The reverse shows a very pretty swath of emerald green and the cameo effect on this coin is gorgeous. This coin has population of 1 with two finer, and neither of the higher graded coins even approach this coin in terms of eye appeal. In a nut shell, this coin is the most attractive 1897 cameo proof in existence (Images courtesy of Anaconda).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Indian%20Cents/IndianCent1897NGCPF66RBCAMEOLargeHo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> 2.&nbsp; 1881-S Morgan Dollar NGC MS68:</b> This coin has already been discussed at length on this forum.&nbsp; The obverse of this technical beauty is toned with a thin crescent of electric blue, magenta, and orange. The reverse displays the same color scheme over a much broader area.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1881-SNGCMSXX1849860-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>3.&nbsp; 1936 Buffalo Nickel NGC PR67 Satin:</b>&nbsp; A delicately rainbow toned satin proof with hints of lime green, royal blue, bright pink and lemon yellow at the rims of the obverse and more pronounced rainbow toning of the same colors on the reverse. Excellent strike and clean surfaces account for the grade of this extremely attractive coin.

There have only been 12 cameo proof silver war nickels graded by either service, and only four have been graded higher than the present example. In addition, this coin is the only cameo war nickel graded by NGC in PF66. The CAC sticker gives confirmation that the grade including the cameo designation are well deserved.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1942-PSilverNGCPF-8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> 5.&nbsp; 1944-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar NGC MS66</b>:&nbsp; A highly lustrous superb gem exhibits splashes of ocean blue and chesnut brown on both the obverse and reverse (Images courtesy of Heritage).</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Walking%20Liberty%20Half%20Dollars/WalkingLibertyHalfDollar1944-SNGCHe.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, this is my top five with a price unaffected by toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
