Wow.!!..Super examples again,.."the best of the best" ..but there must be more from others out there.. ..some don't have the best colour..but the bottom 10 cent coin is a full rainbow.. 1871 with a 7 over 7..and there are ~10 clashes in the upper left reverse field with a reverse image of the obverse bust showing. So many d/c's around through the leaves also. ..but we lose a lot of great details with a max of ~98 kb allowed here. So much more to be seen in my original 2 meg photo.       . . . Edited by DEVLEC

Great coins DEVLEC, I especially like the two 5C pieces. It is so hard to accurately photograph these coins. I'll bet they are beautiful in hand.

That 1942 10c looks like it's photoshopped with images from Hubble. Incredible.

Just a couple more... the 49 has a double date that's not even showing on the ICCS holder.. This 03 is "by far" my best Edward and what's strange is that this 03 5 cent silver is thicker than all of my other 5 cent coins and has these incredible tall and square rims. If seen in hand ,..it's very special.. Frosty face ,..but the beard is "next to impossible" to get with great detail in this 5 cent series. I've added an extra pic for you to kind of get a closer view of a little bit of detail here.       Edited by DEVLEC

1982 5-cent, proof strike. Almost all 1982 proofs tone in one way or another... this one is a particularly nice example.

Stunning example SPP. the 82 shows a composition change to 0.75 copper with 0.25 nickel.
Could you explain what has taken place for this to tone as it did..?(bad mixing,..or too much copper?)
..and should everyone add a coat of clear to stop this toning from continuing..?
..and finally are the 82 SP's.. ie..or the PL's also toning like that..?

The '49 dime is very nice DEVLEC. Looks like there is a doubling on the bottom of the 0 in the 10 cents as well?
The Edward 03 is really nice coin, beautiful.

Thanks so much 4mile123..!!
How come I didn't see the 0 in the 10.? I will take a closer look..and report back here...soon..
Now these are very old pics and probably should be property done again and the other dates are equal to these but without the proper pics to show them.
That 03 of mine is the "crown jewel" in that series of my 5 cents. .
It's in the ICCS holder,..so I can't even weight it to see if it actually does have a touch more in it. I'll try to take a couple of edge pics of some and get them in a posting to compare with some of the/my others.

DEVLEV, you've got a really great collection of George VI dimes to go along with your 5c pieces. Thanks for posting them for us to enjoy. Anyone else with something they can share? Here's a pair of similarly toned 1953 coins     |

Thanks 4mile123.. If I make the pics smaller,..do we see them better.? The toning is very hard to see through without playing with each one "in hand".. The fine details and luster are unfortunately lost at 98 kb.. The long distance pics show well,..but we can't see any of the finer details.     . . Edited by DEVLEC

I received this 1972 Silver Dollar today and I was delighted
to find a toned dollar. No airtite with this coin, some
fingerprints. See pics and comments welcome.
