Merry Christmas, Lets See Some Color, Any Denomination

Here are the only two toned coins I have in my collection right now.

Both of these coins are for sale, here on the CCF

1955 Roosevelt dime - PCGS MS-64


1955-S Roosevelt dime - PCGS MS-64

I always enjoy viewing this piece.



And this one too.

One Naughty and one Nice

Some real ugly toning going on with this poor Ike




The blue that can be seen in the close ups is across the
entire coin and can be seen in hand.

I had to scroll back through a few photos to find this on again.

The Jefferson nickel looks like cooking oil and then added a heat source to the coin.

Posting home toners are we? Ok here is one I made....
Yes its the same coin. Look at the scratch on the left wing.

I just came across this on today in a roll and I liked the coloring.

jaycutler, I know anything is possible when it comes to coins
But given the circumstances of the sale to the friend of mine
that owns the shop where I bought that batch of roughly 30 War Nickels.
From his impression the lady that sold him the coins
She was not a collector and had been in possession of them
for quite some time. they were in a batch of roughly
$100.00 face in Silver that was brought in when Silver
jumped above $20.00 an ounce Sept. 2010
If she was a collector my thinking is
that she might not be selling them for melt. Just one
of the nickels I purchased was sold for $30.00 that afternoon. And there was a number of other keepers
of other denominations that my friend kept also.
Only two had that weird coloring on them.

I am not saying that was not cooked But I was wondering
if something else that may have caused this.
I have no intention of having it slabbed or selling it
as something special. It was just a weird coin that put
a question mark in my head. Many coins do that to me

And to add to the Christmas Color thread
One of my favorite coin show purchases
