Do you have a coin that is toned "Pink Champagne/Pink Rose"? If you do, please share!

This picture does not come close to the real color in hand. It was submitted to PCGS many years ago and is one of my favorites. I love the toning and do not see it too often(at least on coin series I am collecting). Please show if you have any with this color.

    I actually have a Morgan that kind of fits the bill but it's one of the few I've never photographed.

    After the 1962 Worlds Fair in Seattle, they sold Morgans in lots of 1000 from the 1 Million dollar display.

    A local couple bought a lot and wrapped them carefully in tissue paper.

    50 year later, the widow asked me to sell them and most had an attractive pink toning to them, though not vibrant. None of them were high grade or rare, many went to the recyclers of silver.

    I have a Morgan at home that really fits what you are describing, but no photo.
    In the meantime, these are probably more intense than what you are looking for:

    I'm afraid this one has only the slightest pink tinges. After posting I looked at the in hand color and it's even less than in the pic.

    One of my favorites.

    I have a couple of toners with pink on them. Not exactly champagne pink though.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I have even tried to take a short video and cannot capture it. @oldabeintx that is the closest to what I am referring to. Mine only has it on one side though. The reverse is almost proof like. Great coins in here! :)

    I used to have a 1940 Proof Jeff in a Old Anacs holder that I regret selling, that was gorgeous Pink Champaign Just stunning
