I usually crack my coins,but I finished my gold page and the need to crack the gold is not there anymore. I figure as long as I leave it on the slab I'll be alright. Next up I'm looking for some early no motto gold pieces.Charlotte, carson city,dahlonega.

>OP, Very Nice Gold.
Iodine was used,'back in the day' to add some 'color' to gold.
Just a bit of trivia for those who were not aware of this practice.

the alloys in the gold typically turn the coin orange. I would bet my bottom dollar that 1926 occurred naturally in its environment over several decades.

I love me some toned gold, and I'm glad to see you caught the bug too! I think the Indian looks better in hand, but the colors are hard to capture in pictures. I think the OP likes it as much as I did. I am always looking for new toned gold, and it is simply hard to find!

I like the look of the $1 and Classic HE coins. Both look attractive and naturally toned. To me, unfortunately the QE looks to have been artificially toned.
