Hey guys, as you probably already know, I'm a bit of a color addict.  I would like to start a weekly color thread (if no one has any objections), and would love to see some of your stuff! It seems appropriate for the initial thread that I post one of the first really nice toners I was lucky enough to acquire. 1885-O NGC ms64, this coin traces it's provenience back to the Continental Bank Hoard of the 1980's and has only changed hands twice since.

I can say this is a nice coin, and I'm not one to appreciate such toning on silver coins. Wouldn't mind haveing one like it myself. |

I think this could be a very good topic. I don't have any toned coins the only one I have is a Roosevelt dime but just black not colorful. but I think it owuld be nice to see everyone toned coins even though I am not into them it might help new collector deside they want to go the toned route. As soon as I do get a toned coin I will post it don't think it will be any time soon though |

AuldFartte, I actually like a lot of darkside/lightside coins too, and those are some cool coins you posted.  Bryan, 1878's (any mintmark) are tough to find with attractive color and that's a really nice piece you shared with us! |

actually both of my coins I was refering to are 1878, one (the one above) is a VAM-84 (graded MS-65 by PCGS 1 of 1 in this grade) and the other a VAM-82 (graded MS-64 by PCGS also a highest graded coin) and both are B1 reverse Morgans

There is something about a toned coin I just love the color they will turn!!!

The only toned coin I have that I would like opinions on would be this one:   I just got it and grading or opinions would be helpful. Thanks, Diana P.S. All the coins above have their appeal. (It's a shame some of us are still on dial up and probably will never see the whole coin) :( |
