I picked up this toned Eisenhower dollar for only $5 at my shops bidboard a few weeks ago. I dont know why nobody else was bidding. The ones in the plastic cases are 40% silver right? Anyway, here it is.   |

Nice Ike. Definitely worth the $5 you paid and it could be either a silver proof or it could be clad. Just look at the edge to find out. If it has a copper reeding it isn't silver. And nice Silver Eagle, Tcmac, I like the light, attractive toning it has.

Another nice Silver Eagle, jprine. Silver Eagles with wild toning usually don't impress me but yours is nice, especially the obverse.

Hey Rollhunter, if that is natural toning on that Ike, it's fantastic. My wife, who isn't much into my hobby, wanted that one. Just beautiful.

Thanks Wheatguy-I have seen these real colorful toned coins before and being fairly new at this, I wasn't sure if this was natural toning. I purchased this ASE as a bu in 2000. It has been in a flip since then so I know the toning is natural. It does look pretty cool. I have several of these stored in the same way and in the same place and this is the only one to do this. Go figure. |

Yeah, I'm not to familiar with toned but that one is nice. I wonder if your other Silver Eagles in flips will tone. Quote:

It definitely is a nice coin, regardless of if it is AT or NT. Even some AT coins can look nice. Edited by wheatguy

Here's something different, a toned straight clip, it's a '46. It looks a lot nicer in-hand.  |

Even Drab toning can be attractive. But then beauty is in the eye of the beholder  |
