This 1818/5 Bust 25c resides in an NGC MS62 holder. It was submitted raw after I purchased it out of a bank vault where it had been sitting for decades. It's probably the oldest U.S. coin I own that has genuinely pretty toning.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful coin photos. I can’t get a good photo since I only used a iPhone and an iPad. I just got a new camera so I get better in the future. Here are a couple. The 1976 Kennedy is a pop 1/0.
You only live life once, enjoy it like it's your last day. It just MIGHT be!
The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

This will be my last one... 1698 Half Crown- not the rarest of the William III series-but it is among the most attractive
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
What a fantastic thread with so many beautiful coins.
Each and every one, a spectacular specimen.

Kennedys are my quest...
Since others have brought dark side coins into this mix, here is mine for that magic date.
Wow!
I'm in LOVE.

I'll add another better date, an 1883 Seated Liberty half toned on both sides, grades MS-62:

One more that I really like:
Does this slick that is one amongst the 52k minted count?

Even Ricko might like this one
This 1844-O half, graded PCGS AU58+ CAC, is a slightly better date with really nice toning.
A little Fathead representation -
I'm out of my element here because I'm not a big toning fan. But I do like the light golden patina on my overdate.
Another one I have where the toning is not upfront but well in the background.
1803 is a better date half dollar, and this is the scarcest 1803 variety that is the highest graded by PCGS:
A couple new ones for my half dollar type set, the 1879 has a proof mintage of 1100 and business strike of 4800:
I will need to get a trueview, but not many album toned 1795 half dollars:
1970-D
pretty scarce toner in this condition
That looks blatantly AT.
THE rarest date capped bust dime, awesome coin!
