<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 814604, member: 15309&quot;]I have to believe that Morgan Dollars are the king of naturally rainbow toned silver coins due to the number stored in canvas bags.&nbsp; Second place would have to go to early commemoratives.&nbsp; There are some commems that are hard to find with toning but the sheer number of tab toned examples from the government packaging vaults them close to the top.&nbsp; After these two, making a definitive declaration about the originality of the toning becomes almost impossible.&nbsp; However, I think that some of the most beautifully toned coins are Mercury Dimes.&nbsp; Mint set Franklins and Washington&#039;s are also very easy to find with spectacular toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems odd to me that you listed three series (Franklins, Kennedy&#039;s, and Mercurys) that you have never seen toned that I think are very easy to find toned.&nbsp; Peace Dollars are extremely rare but they exist.&nbsp; In my experience, the most difficult 20th century silver to find with attractive rainbow toning are the Barbers and Walkers with SLQ&#039;s not far behind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe these examples of the series you have missed will satisfy your appetite:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Franklin%20Half%20Dollars/FranklinHalfDollar1958-DNGCMS67S-8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Kennedy%20Half%20Dollars/KennedyHalfDollar1964PCGSMS64H.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Mercury%20Dimes/MercuryDime1940-DNGCMS66FB503079-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Peace%20Dollars/PeaceDollar1923NGCMS662.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is to say nothing of the nickels or copper coins.&nbsp; Personally I find that the newer the nickel series, the easier it is to find rainbow toned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
