I like you Barry enjoy the full circumference toning, I just linked a random coin from his list for the coloring on it....

Being AT or not, again meaningless to me. I care more about what the coin looks like, and if it is a solid coin itself condition wise....

If you watch the running auctions, you can find naturally toned ones for decent prices on running auctions compared to high cost buy it now listings....

I like the title of this thread. Reminds me of a guy I used to know. He worked in a local bank setting up loans for people. His business card had a sillouhette of a cowboy on a horse and read: "The Loan arRanger".

This coin was for sale on ebay, from a reputable seller and they were asking over $5,000 (It was PCGS graded - But I don't remember the grade) But it is still the nicest toner I have ever seen.

And I get those above between 45 an 50 bucks, so not bad at all if you know about the price of toned coins, esp the ones which tone naturally over many years....

There is too much Morgan favoritism in toning discussions!

Lol CW, I have been hunting for a nice graded Merc dime today, with nice rainbow toning. The problem, the price my stars nice Merc rainbows go for BIG MONEY, and they seem to be harder to find with nice toning like your example above....

This guy here has a bunch of highly rainbowed loose Mercs up, and they are all priced like 85 each, no grades, lol. And they look way to toned to be natural too boot....

Those are horrible AT coins! BLECH! Worth melt IMO. KILL IT WITH FIRE! He's got two naturally toned ones, but they're way overpriced, even for the color.

That I posted one was a naturally toned MS68FB and went for moon money on Heritage.

If you want a nice type example for the series, look for a Denver coin from 1938-1945. In terms of quality, they're the 1881-S of Mercs, and they're abundant enough in high grades that you can be picky and get a very pretty full-bands example.

And rainbow toned examples are out there for fair prices - I didn't pay an arm and a leg for these, for instance:

Supposedly if you put silver coins in a sealed envelope with a bunch of matches the sulfur will do a nice toning job. I think it speeds up the process if it is kept warm, say, left on a window sill in the sun.

For people who are looking for Nice Toned Coins, that are TPG graded, "kryptonitecomics" on ebay is one of the best. He starts all of his auctions at $0.99 and have no reserve. He lists coins every weekend (Saturday and Sunday).

I also noticed this Indian penny, and nearly flipped out! When I saw it was up over 600 bucks, lol....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1892-Indian...em3372b76860

Can't quite wrap my mind around forking out that kind of cheddar for a penny, beautiful at a certain angle or not....

Keep in mind after getting some of these Morgans I posted earlier, they look different in person from camera, as the digi tech really can't catch its true appearance. don't get me wrong I love the way they look, it is just a bit darker in person, an one needs some good light, and the simple ability to tilt the coin to see all there fantastic colors come to life.....

He has some real nice Ros dimes with some great color as well....

No Problem! He is one of my favorite sellers on ebay, and I check his listings every week, just to see the great coins he lists.
