Post Yours!

I gave PCGS the opportunity to get this one right again at Winter FUN and they did! It got a nice half point upgrade via the REGRADE route. :smile:

    You have some of the nicest mercury dimes. Thanks for sharing this one. The color is super nice.

    Here's a toned mercury dime I picked up a while back.

    Not as dramatic as most but something is starting to happen here.

    I made a whole long post about this coin when I got it a couple of weeks ago, but I love it, so here it is again.

    As you should! Way cool!

    Not sure how this 64 Proof Jefferson was toned, but it surely beautiful. Not a great photographer and can only partially capture the colors.

    Jim, you’ll want to pick up a couple of cheap flood lights. They are best for proofs like this. Then just a slight tilt of the coin and you have the photos you are likely looking for.

    Not nearly as dramatic as yours but something is starting to happen inside this wrapper.

    Thank you, km. I will give it a try.

    That's an interesting color for gold!

    It's 18K gold or 750 gold so 25% of that is something other than gold. Do you know what the 25% that isn't gold is made of? In theory, 25% of that could be copper.
