My New Toned Roosie

Here are some pictures of the 1951 proof Roosevelt dime that I just got. The coin has been graded PF68 Cameo by NGC. The photos aren't the best and do the coin no justice, but the coin has a nice cameo effect and great blue, purple, and magenta toning on both the obverse and reverse. The reverse has a nice target toned effect with the rims being a great deep electric blue.

    Wow, nice Roosie. Proofs are hard to find like that. I wonder where the toning came from. I'm surprised that gave it a Cam with all that beautiful toning.

    Nice toned Rosie image.
    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
