I've never heard of them, but they seem to carry a lot of really nice coins, I especially like their wheat cents and morgans. They also seem to sell on ebay, their seller ID is islandcoins. Edited by wheatguy

Is the Buffalo slabbed?Wheatman, it's currently entombed in a pcgs ms65 slab.  Has anyone dealt with them (Island Coins) before?Gothic Florin, I have dealt with Gary (Island Coins) on several occasions (both buying and selling), and can honestly say he is one of the good guys. Two thumbs up!

Here's one of my Indians. There really is some nice toning that isn't in the picture, and it looks like there's toning on the rim. Those are some really amazing coins, Nelrak and Hadleydog. I especially like the proof indian and that SLQ. That FRanklins really nice too, Dcrews.   |

The BTW commemorative was glued to a cardboard holder, the white area is where the glue was(removed with acetone) and the toned area was directly touching the cardboard.

I question the toning on the last two Morgans but I am pretty sure everything else is naturalThe 81 and 98 are most likely at'd, the colors and progressions are not right. That '21 Morgan of yours is a moose for the date. Sweet!

I'm just gonna head off the NT vs AT argument. Lets not care HOW it got toned...just that it IS toned and beautiful.

Lets not care HOW it got toned...just that it IS toned and beautiful.As a collector, I do care how they got that way. Of course, I also care if they have been cleaned, lasered, puttied, thumbed, or messed with in any other way. I like original surfaces, period. JMHO.
