<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 458661, member: 15309&quot;]Peter,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am happy to hear that you like toned coins and have a few suggestions if you are looking to venture into the toned coin market.&nbsp; It sounds as though you may have a limited budget and dramatic rainbow toned coins usually cost hundreds or thousands of dollars each. However that does not mean you cant find great toned coins at reasonable prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>One suggestion would be to start a short set (1934-1945) of gem state Mercury Dimes (NGC or PCGS).&nbsp; Please don&#039;t attempt to purchase raw toned coins until you have extensive experience.&nbsp; You will be able to find nicely toned Mercury Dimes at very reasonable prices.&nbsp; I was able to pick this coin up on E-Bay for $66.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1945-DPCGSMS66FB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1945-DPCGSMS66FBObverseH.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some other options for high grade toned coins would be Roosevelt Dimes, Washington Quarters, and Franklin Half Dollars.&nbsp; However the toning on these series are usually a little more mottled and less vibrant in color.&nbsp; Heritage has a registry set of rainbow toned Washington quarters for sale.&nbsp; Now these coins are all MS67&#039;s and very expensive, but if you take a look at them, you will be able to see the toning patterns available on Washington quarters.&nbsp; Take a look at the 1951-S NGC MS68 CAC, holy cow.&nbsp; You can find nicely toned Washies in MS65 for the 1940&#039;s+ for under $100 each.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?No=100&amp;N=51+793+794+791+1577+368" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?No=100&amp;N=51+793+794+791+1577+368" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/search_results.php?No=100&amp;N=51+793+794+791+1577+368</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Just some food for thought!&nbsp; If you ever need any advice about a toned coin, feel free to ask me either in public or in a PM.&nbsp; Good Luck my friend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
