I have some really cool coins for sale... toned to all colors you could possibly want 
I'm not too good with the toning premium, so feel free to counteroffer- I won't be offended at all... I just might not say yes 
I've done my best to capture the toning as I saw it under a Reveal 60W light or a regular, white bulb (each coin is noted, and frankly, I don't see much of a difference any more between the two light sources, so long as the light source is strong)- sometimes the angle matters to see the vibrance of the color... rotating any coin in the light will give you some great results. I'm doing my best with the descriptions, but if you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
$1 for shipping, and I'll add a tad more if the weight goes up- paypal (no credit cards), checks, money orders... they're all good
Now for the coins! Wooo!!!
CENTS
------------------------------------
1968-S Proof Cent- $6 (reveal)

reverse
Great mirrors and great toning! On the watery obverse mirrors and must, gorgeous rainbow shades float- yellow, green, blue, red, orange! Not amazingly vibrant, but truly beautiful. The reverse has a small amount of red toning, but nothing major. There is some spotting on both sides.
--------------------------------------
1983-S Proof Cent #2- $5 (reveal)
obverse
reverse
This one isn't as spectacular as it's predecessor, but is still nice. On the obverse, there is a small amount of color, mostly light, pastel reds and greens, which take away most of the mirrors. The coin's strong point is definitely the reverse. On decent mirrors lies an enormous amount of color- neon reds, yellows, greens, blues, purples- you name it, it's on this coin. The reverse would make a nice sign on the Vegas Strip, if you ask me.

1954 Franklin, MS63.5- $21 (reveal, I think)

The Bell
The Thread Where it was discussed
Here is a nice one that is on the border between MS63 and MS64. On the obverse, there is a beautiful golden orange. The reverse, contrastingly, is white. All over, the coin is lustrous. The bell lines are full, except interrupted with a hit, so the designation is, sadly, lost. Non the less, this is a great coin that you would be glad to own.

1963-D MS64.5 possibly FBL Franklin- $60 (reveal, I think)

WOW! This is a nice Franklin! The obverse is not only lustrous, but has light gold/green tone all over, with some rainbow reds and even a hint of blue at the toning's edge. The reverse is a lustrous, blast white. The bells are oh so close to FBL, but it was said that for this issue, they come like this normally, and PCGS could be forgiving and give out the much-loved designation. The grade, too, is on the line of MS64 and MS65. It is a pretty coin, and I think the great luster and color would bump it to the MS65. MS65 trends at $80, and MS65FBL at $250. If this coin doesn't sell, I will be strongly considering slabbing this one to find out its grade. It's a great chance to get a great coin.
Bon appetit!
