Wow Darth what a difference lighting makes. What are you using for lighting to draw the toning out like that? Went shopping this week. Got 1974(P and D) in mint cello, a US Mint 1978 Proof set (for the Ike), and 1972-D PCGS MS65. All should be arriving next week. The seller of the PCGS graded coin said Tru View pics come with purchase so here is My 1972-D. I can't wait to see this one in hand.  |

I'm using 5 Jansjo lamps while having the coin positioned closer to the top of the view screen. It allows for adequate light coverage across the entire surface. Nice 1972-D! |

paralyse- ummmmm. I kinda don't like you right now.  I was prepared to bid on this, but I forgot to place it before going to bed. I also missed out on some good toners on Great Collections, some of which ended with prices below $10 (below $20 after fees + shipping). I love this piece, but the only thing that concerns me is the possibility that the Ike was polished to look shiny for the display and now exhibits secondary toning. Regardless, I was willing to take a chance. My max bid would have been $20. Would I have won?  Could you please take new pictures once you have it? Looking forward to seeing what colors are involved in the toning. Edited by Darth Morgan

I've looked off and on for over a year to find a nice lovely toned Ike for my collection. I found plenty, but I kept getting overbid. So, I sort of gave up eventually. But, while searching for SBAs, I stumbled across a couple of lonely toned Ikes. I threw out a low bid on both, hoping to get at least one. To my surprise, I won them both. Figures!    |

I like that, jbuck. How many slabs down? Only four.  But there is a coin show this weekend. Unless I find a good deal on a seated silver dollar or two for the 7070, I should be able to add a few more.  Quote:
Jbuck, thought you might like this recent $9 (!) acquisition...check out the toning on that bad boy. Marion-Kay Summers Model #29 Walnut Dollar Clock. These are somewhat scarcer than the "Last Silver Coins" clocks Mr. Summers built and sold. Seller photos. I love it! Nice find!  Quote:

Here's another shot of the 1973-S PR67 that the seller provided. Hope it looks that good in hand.  |
