1896 with color, not common

I thought I would post a photo of a tough coin to find with color. I did have help with this photo as I could not capture the colors at all to my satisfaction. So I went to the expert and this is exactly how the coin look. This guy is amazing with the camera.

Photo credit goes to GREATTONING, thanks for your help Dick. Nice Job!!!

Very pretty coin and it looks like at least an MS65.

Richard, Good call its a PCGS 66. I bought it after the old owner cracked it a few times looking to get it in a 67 holder.

I thought it looked pretty clean, even under the color. I've got a 96-P(white)NGC65 that I would like to compare to yours if you bring it to FUN. This coin is so under-graded it's not funny. It looks much better than my 96-P MS67. In fact, let's compare all three and see why they are graded the way they are.

TonedDollars:
VERY NICE, and have any of you people that own 96-P's ever notice how many come with two sided tone!!!!!!!!!. I know Richard (Morganluver) has one, I have one, and I have seen several others in the past that were owned by different people.

Yes, I have only a single 1896 in my collection, and indeed it is toned on both sides. Quite a riddle.

<< <i>Quite a riddle >>

I know what you mean. Some can be very interesting. The one I own has nice mint bag rainbow toning on the obverse. While the reverse is album toned, and was the main reason I purchased the coin. It is quite different, and something you don't run into everyday.

Morganluver · October 19, 2003 2:23AM

I agree. Most toned 96-Ps that I've seen are toned on both sides usually from an album or envelope, however, I have seen and owned a few with what appears to be bag toning on both sides as well. Very curious indeed.

I seem to be repeating myself...repeating myself?

Nice coins will do that to you Richard.

I've got an 1896 PCGS MS65 with toning on both sides (though not 100%)

TD,

Nice 96...

Here is one of my best, but the pics missed capturing the monsterous nature of this one. Surfaces are TOTALLY PL, even though not on the NGC 64* label. Reverse is white.

Rainbow and Textile, but the picture is poor

Nice Morgan. Looks like 66 for sure.
