They rarely come that way

Post a coin that’s not “normal.”
For my part in the discussion, peace dollars usually don’t tone nicely.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Love, LOVE that Peace dollar.
Here is my contribution to your thread:

@ctf_error_coins has a lot of those coins that aren't normal! 😂 🤣
Woodgrain IHCs are out of the ordinary.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
A favorite of mine that always seems to evoke emotions from both sides. The blue toning is beautiful in hand!
Frost on any pre-1950 Proof Washington quarter is EXTREMELY uncommon:

I was working on this coin tonight and these don't usually come the way some think.
3.1 D small date. The 2 is a large date, now look at the 8. Posted it because the coin and photo's were handy.
Toned V nickels are a rarity....
@SimonW... You are correct, they do not tarnish nicely... good example. Cheers, RickO

Sadly, not my coin:
21-S Morgans don't come attractive, with frosty luster and a crisply detailed strike.

How about these 2 from the Morgan 'pancake' series with decent strikes.
How are you toning these?
I’m not. Spent a lot of time searching for them. One theory is leather pouch toning. I did try an experiment once where I left several Indian quarter Eagles sandwiched in different types of leather for a year, but none of them changed at all.
1870-73cc quarters are almost impossible to find original and without damage.
One of my favorites found in change.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
Graded PCGS VF20
Might it be a slightly higher copper content, or that most prefer untoned gold and have "conserved" their toned pieces? I'm with you, I like the toned look, a lot.
That's a really nice 1921!

Civil War tokens don't usually come out like this, but when they do it is a sight to behold:
