Here's another one that is pretty heavily toned. Luster is unbroken and pops though, but the right obverse near the rim is as close to terminal toning as I care to play with.
This one is in an old ANACs holder and has a heavy patina. Maybe the old holder had something to do with the toning? I have at least one other coin with similar toning though its not in one of these holders.
Toned coins are like ex-girlfriends, very unique and attractive, sometimes kind of crazy sometimes kind of cool but once there gone sometimes you actually miss them. I never should have let the 66 getaway
That's a really attractive coin but is a classic silver commemorative, not a half-cent.
The error was a deliberate one. The deep red-brown patina on the Lincoln commemorative half looks like it was made from copper. Here's the unedited TruView that more closely resembles the coin in hand under indirect light rather than the edited "glamour shot" I provided to show off its color.
A truly unexpected gift from someone I assisted in life...they didn't even know I was a collector and returned later to give me this. True story.
It's brown like beautiful shoe polish and I find it absolutely gorgeous.

Yes, you are correct!
Very grateful to have been offered this coin as the competition can be fierce when they come up at auction.
And here is another one that fits the description for this post….and also one of my favorites.

Oh Dave, you're making me drool this morning!

Fantastic looking 1812 > @pursuitofliberty

Here's one more to call it a night

I have a thing for neon green cents.
lots of nice coins in this thread!

Superb 103 Dave!
What can you say about the the pull away area below the digits in the date?
I've been trying to figure that phenomenon out...?
🤔
Here's one I recently aquired..
The error was a deliberate one. The deep red-brown patina on the Lincoln commemorative half looks like it was made from copper. Here's the unedited TruView that more closely resembles the coin in hand under indirect light rather than the edited "glamour shot" I provided to show off its color.
Let's get "Patinapaloosa" going again.

It's green and it's got red hair; I'm calling it The Leprechaun.
Beautiful coins in this thread!

This one is heavy, but it's got some color to keep it interesting.

I primarily collect early gold, but I do have one silver coin in my collection, and it's dark in a way I find very attractive.
A truly unexpected gift from someone I assisted in life...they didn't even know I was a collector and returned later to give me this. True story.
It's brown like beautiful shoe polish and I find it absolutely gorgeous.
