so you all really believe this happened by nature right ?

lazeroo,

You must not buy many early sixties proof sets. Yes, this happens naturally with these nickels. I've pulled quite a few directly from the packaging myself.

"What are coins minted by the BeeGees, Alex?"

"Correct! Pick again!"

Beauties Dan, and Marty!

AWWWSSSSOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM. I love those coins. Now I want to collect toned Madison nickels.

So many coins, so little money left. Tell us more, who did you get them from, are the slabbed, by who,

what is you shoe size , do you like pickels? We need to know these things because we are all nosey.

BTW tremendous pictures, well done.

Bear,

Me too! I think they're probably very very rare.

It's amazing what Marty, his oven and a potato can accomplish.

mbbiker · February 27, 2003 1:39PM

Very cool, you had to say this

How Much?

But you have to use a sweet potato to get toning like that!

SarasotaFrank · February 27, 2003 1:53PM

The first two and the first 1963 shown are really stunning, and I am not a toned coin fan. Jeffersons seem to have the best toning in my opinion, as opposed to all of the smattering I see on many coins. These are very very nice.

ANACONDA · February 27, 2003 1:57PM

I believe those coins are surprisingly....not applied toning, but rather are originally toned. There was a group that surfaced not long ago
out of some mountain community on the east coast if memory serves me correctly.

Bryan at Texas Bullion Traders has some of them and these illustrated above look like they may have come from the same group.

They are truly spectacular and the images actually understate their impact.

I believe Marty freed each of these from their cellophane encasements personally.

and... you're right. As nice as the pictures came out - they're STUNNING in person.
