Lets see some nice toned coins

[VDB Coins]

This was one of the nicest Ike dollars I ever owned. The 1973 only came in Mint Sets and the MS66 grade is the top known last time I checked. Sold this one a couple of years ago as well.

Just got this one. The toning I think is just right.

Beautiful Ike, stunning  Frankfurt and great Morgan toner guys!!!


Here is a Franklin that I just received the grade on Friday. Actualy surprised that it graded only a MS64
as I thought it was an easy MS65fbl.

I agree on the fbl and a bump for the rev toning.  Grader must have had a bad nite.

Ha....laugh is on me, after looking up the cert number I said......hey that's mine:D

An interesting color progression on the toned ASE and thought to share with you guy's.

I bought this coin some years back in an old PCI holder. I loved the pastel toning.....The first image is right after I bought it, then
the after a few years I decided to submit to PCGS, you can see the trueview. About two years ago I sold it
and regretted it so I asked the member who bought it if I can buy it back. When it returned home it was darker but still
had all the colors in the trueview( I need to look for that image)

Well, today I took it out from the safe and didn't recognize it until I looked the cert up.
It has deepened in toning and lost the symmetrical greens and blues on both sides.

Although very different and looking quite similar to my other PCI toned eagles, new toning is taking over.....a deeper orange, reds and
the blues are becoming much darker, although does not come out well in my images. Also the light greens have progressed into an olive tone.

So, the do continue to tone in the slab and curious as to what it will look like in years to come.

I included a few of my other coins that are slabbed and I will guess they have been in holders longer than the 1999 coin.




The original images when I purchased the coin.





The trueview after a few years of owning it.







 Todays images.








A few other slabbed ones, very similar toning to the coin now.








Now curious as to what the other still to be slabbed ones will look like and was going to hold on to them until they tone more but
after seeing the change in the 1999 maybe it is better to slab them now.

Well it's been a while since I've posted a Kennedy half so I thought I would pass this one along. This one is in my Registry Set. I bought it off of eBay when everybody else was apparently napping. The seller called it "Picasso color" and I liked the description so much I still use it. (As they say in show business, "don't show me anything you don't want me to steal"). I have had several offers for it since but consider it irreplaceable. This is a non-SMS coin, by the way, so in high grade these are much, much more elusive than the SMS coins. These 1965-67 40% silver non-SMS coins were the workhorse coins meant to replace the (instantly disappearing because hoarded) 90% silver 1964 Kennedy halves. Enjoy!

Nice coins everyone.
 I just got this Taler and I think the toning is just right.

Very nice and it look like the grade is spot on! Always nice to see a plus grade

1943-C Newfoundland Five Cents, MS65 PCGS

I love these little silver half dimes and this one is Especially Sparkly! It looks even nicer in-hand than my photos but this is the best I could do ...

Enjoy!
