<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 255000, member: 307&quot;]Ok, all this talk about toned coins, both naturally and artificially has brought me to show and tell time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this dime about 5 years ago from a private party. I won&#039;t say the grade right now, but it is slabbed by PCGS in an OLD green slab. That way if enough people want to, we can have a contest.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is exactly what one would expect for a 1949-S mint set coin. It mas mottled goldish toning all over the reverse side.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is an entirely different story as you will see. This coin is basically the way I got it back then. Although I wasn&#039;t a fan of toned coins at the time, the color impressed me and I was also relatively sure that the coin had never been dipped. LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>Forgive the pictures, cuz as a photographers go, I&#039;m a heck of a computer repairman! Seriously... the pics are out of focus, but they show the color that I am talking about. The clearer I seem to make the coin, the less you see the toning in the pics. In person it jumps out at you and is really quite spectacular. I hope you like them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
