Post your better date toned coins!

As we've seen on this forum, we've seen lots of spectacular toned coins. When you look closer, it turns out that they are mostly the common dates for that series (1881-S Morgans, 1958-D Franklins, 1945 Mercury dimes). How about starting a thread of better date toned coins, not the usual common date stuff. This is not a knock on those coins, I just want to see some nice better or key date toners. I always wondered if there were monster toned 1883-S or 1884-S Morgans, but there doesn't appear to be any.
I've posted this coin before, but figure I'd use it to start off this thread. This is my two sided toned 1916-D Walking Liberty half dollar, which is a better date in that series. I have yet to see another decently toned coin of this date. Post yours if you have some cool toned dates!

I have a number of toned Morgans for dates that are rare with color but most of those are still common when untoned (e.g 1882, 1889, 1900). I’ve never seen a rainbow-toned key date Morgan (and I would be priced out anyway). The Morgan series has a LOT of better dates, though. This is one:
Does this count? To me it is a somewhat tough date but its the color that sets it apart.

This 1827 Overton 122 graded AU58+ CAC is a tough R5. Maybe the favorite in my collection.

I've always liked the toning on this one...

The coin looks very close to the Trueview.
My 1916-D WLH doesn't have the same toning as the one in the OP, but it does have nice and interesting color.

That Northern Lights Morgan is just so absurdly nice for an 8TF. It’s a monster no matter the date but 8TF Morgans are hard to find with any color, let alone a rainbow like that. But you already know this.

And only slightly better in MS67 but definitely nice color:

Here's probably one of the rarest dated toned coins in this thread, .....
Some awesome toners in this thread.

Scratch on slab. Not the best looking toning but better in hand and a semi-key date.
Maybe not eye popping color, but still pretty nice, I think:

I've got no pics of the colorful AU55 Hawaiian commem I picked up at Summer FUN. The 1851 half has been posted to death. The others lack sufficient rarity, so...
I'll go with this 1881 P10 CAC half.
Here's 1 that I have, the best one I had got sold on GC!
Here’s another.
Though it’s not a monster toner, it is a better date in AU and above.
This one is graced as a AU 50 by our host.

Here’s a 1944-D Walker, hand engraved “AW” with some nice color. Not a key date, but not a common variety. FS-109. PCGS MS 66. Unattributed.
This is an awesome coin! Congrats @CharlotteDude
CK - I love that 1891 florin. SO far much better than mine. I know it is dark side but in terms of rarity surely spanks anything else listed here. PLEASE Let me know if you ever want to sell!
Well, just Love coins, period.
I’ve always looked at the 17 type 1 as a better date. In my book it always will be.
A better date dime

I'm mostly a type guy at this point, so mostly I collect the common dates of most series. Here are a few notable exceptions. The Peace dollar I've shared many (too many?) times, but not for a while.

I think this qualifies as a "better date toned coin"
