Posting some Pics... Hope thats OK?

Been away from the forum this week. Had to put my beloved dog to sleep. Man thats a hard thing to do. Anyway I got a lot of new coins in the mail and wanted to share a few.

I thought this franklin had a cool pattern, anyone know from what?:

This Peace dollar has beautiful colors I just couldn't capture right. I like it:

Also picked up a few raw toned morgans and a cool 1960 double proof set in those capital holders with all rainbow toned nickles & pennys at the coin shop.

    The first coin looks like textile toning to me.

  • GREAT shots, Lori. I'd love to have a Peace $ like that!

    I've had to put two pets to sleep over the years. It is a family member loss, and it feels like it. Take care and hang tight.

    Nice Frankey. An interesting coin-cidence. I too happen to have a 1960 textile toned Franklin.
    It must have been a good year for that type of toning. Is there a pattern to this pattern?

    Very nice coins Lori! Can't say exactly how the Frankie got that way, perhaps in a bag, but if that was the case, it may have been in a bullion bag as opposed to a bank bag. Does anyone know if halves came in $500 bags back then?

    There's no such thing as an ugly Kennedy. Some are just more attractive than others.

    Now, Frankies are another story.

    Good combination. Textile toning on the Franklin and Fingerprint toning on the top JFK.

    I'll bet the FBI has that print in its database.image
