Post a coin with radioactive toxic waste toning ☢️

Wasn't sure how else to describe this absurdly toned proof Ike that arrived in the mail today, nor can I explain why I can't seem to help hitting the buy button when I see these kind of things, but here it is in all its PR67CAM glory.

I have no idea how PCGS even determined it was a CAM, because I sure as hell can't tell. Anyway, if anyone has any ridiculously toned coins that might fit the category, feel free to post 'em so poor Ike isn't a nuclear Pop 1.

    Coins such as the Ike proof that is posted in the OP are both fascinating and repulsive.

    If I looked at the coin in hand under good lighting I suspect that I would like it.

    As far as this Ike receiving a Cameo designation goes, well if it warrants the designation then I think this RB proof Lincoln and these proof Franklins all warrant a Cameo designation (Some RB and BN copper are clearly Cameo proofs).

    Totally cool Ike and absolutely up my alley.
    Nice catch!

    Your 1956 rainbow 1¢ is to pretty to be called toxic waste.

    I have a few in double-mint sets that look like this. One looks like the mint worker had dipped their hand in acid, and part of their finger came off and stuck to the coin. Or was they eating Cheetos while filling the cards. lol

    @emeraldATV - I have a coin project for you. This is just for @emeraldATV, no one else! Could you please show us what a coin looks like after you microwave it for 25 minutes.

    Yes, exactly. A great learning experience for all of us. I can't wait to see it!

    Intended to be interesting - don't know how this happened the ASE.
    The buffalo is straight as received from the mint - should sell for $1M
    to the right buyer.

    Auction that flatulent gold buffalo on GC....I can see $1mil. 😊
