This is all that I've got for decent toning. Not end-roll, not particularly good lighting. not a Morgan

grip · September 23, 2003 7:43AM

Super Russ...however, I'm the butt end!

Thank you ms70.

Russ · September 23, 2003 7:48AM

And, yet another that I was lucky enough to handle.

Russ, NCNE

mgoodm3 · September 23, 2003 7:52AM

What's the origin of the straight lines on end roll toning? Paper chunks hanging out of the roll?

Russ, sorry to hear your unable to hold on to beautiful ladies

lablover · September 23, 2003 7:56AM

paigowjohnny,
Nice addition you got there!!!

Russ · September 23, 2003 7:57AM

And another that stopped by and visited for a while.

Lablover,

Don't feel sorry. Outside of the dealers here, I'm probably the luckiest member of the forum! I get to see lots of cool coins, fondle them, learn about them and love them - even if only for a brief period of time.

Cool coins boyz and girlz.

I think end-roll toned coins are way under-rated and have been buying every nice one I can find. Nice? Bright colors (especially blues and reds), sharp lines, clean surfaces......and it's really cool when you get matching obverse and reverse.

They're far more rare than mint bag or album toned pieces in my opinion. The last significant group I purchased was from a complete bag of 1888-P's that had been put away in rolls. I ended up with about 25 pieces total that I thought were worthy of buying. The best 14 went into a single Capital Plastics holder and look great.

There was ONE, and only ONE, Morgan in the last Heritage sale that I wanted for my collection and it was an end-roll toned piece. I bid it up to $1400 and then dropped out because it was apparent that the other bidder wanted the coin. I talked to him later and hope to secure the coin.

Russ... almost exactly like mine:

I also have...

gsaguy · September 23, 2003 8:06AM

Russ,

I'm not convinced that the last coin you posted (1887) is end-roll toned. I suspect it's a bag toned piece because it appears to show a textile pattern as well. I've picked up a number of GSA coins (which I know weren't placed in paper rolls) that show a strong line of separation between colors. The cause? Most likely a fold in the bag resting on the coin.

The most dramatic I own is an 1878-CC (softpack) that is one half red, one half blue with a straight line of demarcation between colors.

Mgoodm3: As the end of the roll is folded over the coin, layers of differing thicknesses lay on, or near, the coin's surfaces thereby imparting the different colors.

Great looking coin Jim!

Here's mine

Russ · September 23, 2003 8:13AM

<< I'm not convinced that the last coin you posted (1887) is end-roll toned. >>

GSAGUY,

You might be right. I'm still learning.

Here's another shot of it with different lighting:

It shows the angles more clearly. Your verdict?

Russ, NCNE

gsaguy · September 23, 2003 8:33AM

I still see a good bit of what looks like textile but that's also a very straight line. Perhaps it's both?

Wouldn't be unheard of to have someone pulling coins out of bags (which could already be toned) and then putting them in rolls.

I'll be a politician here......we're both right.

.......now send me a donation.

lablover · September 23, 2003 8:39AM

<< Here's mine >>

Frank, looks like it has super lustre. Is it as bright as I think?

relayer · September 23, 2003 8:49AM

That's a pretty coin lablover - go for it.

Here's my 1885 NGC MS63*

lablover · September 23, 2003 8:51AM

relayer,
I can see why NGC gave it the coveted "STAR". Great look!!!

nwcs · September 23, 2003 8:55AM

Wow, those are great end-rolls. I have one end roll JFK but it is not very dramatic. A beautiful end roll toned coin is on my list of things to buy at some point.

grip · September 23, 2003 9:20AM

relayer
That coin is stunning

Louis · September 23, 2003 9:41AM

This is one I bought recently and was worried the pictures might be enhanced from what some board members said about thier experiences with the seller. When I looked at the coin in person it looked exactly like the picture.
