Post your DARKSIDE COLOR

laurentyvan · October 13, 2004 5:02AM

They're doing it on the lightside-I say that the darkside has bolder, more NT coloration than many images I saw there. Let's show them some Darkside color

I've posted this before and it's still the most colorful coin I have-looks exactly like this in hand.

I still don't understand the reference to slickers-could someone educate me?

<< INTRODUCING, THE SLICKERS!!!! >>

Stop pinching my term!

So if the term "it's a slicker" gains wide parlance you know who started it! Moi.

I think it has to do with the color of an oil slick on water.

Bingo! Well in all honesty the shades and tones seen in an oil spill in the road are quite often found on coins. Just the light spectrum and all.

Here, maybe this'll be more manageable for you, Don.

Thanks Phil.

Nice colours on that 10-center, Laurent.

Thanks Phil, ajaan nearly put my eye oat with that monsta image!!

goldrush00013 · October 13, 2004 8:28AM

Wow Cosmic!!! That 55 SA 1/2 looks like Purple Haze!!

The best part is it was free. It was won from one of our esteemed forum members in a giveaway

Not to take away from my bretheren on the light side but

And of course - since I'm not a darkside collector:

FC57Coins · October 13, 2004 10:43AM

Ah - and we must not forget these!

laurentyvan · October 13, 2004 10:44AM

Blue copper-one of my favorites-thanks again to the forum for this giveaway coin from a major coin show. LordM, Rhound, Ajaan, who else?

laurentyvan · October 13, 2004 10:46AM

FC57, you've worked yourself right up there my man!

Could you be one of the more successful and ardent crossovers from the Lightside of late?

How do your lightside buddies view your working both sides of the tracks?

python · October 13, 2004 10:49AM

Wonderfull coins everyone.

Here's a few of mine with some color. Text

laurentyvan · October 13, 2004 10:56AM

The File You Are Looking For Is Inaccessible. This is the message received for your link Python... I'm anxious to see your color!

ajaan · October 13, 2004 10:59AM

<< I'm anxious to see your color! >>

It's probably just another one of his dozen William I pennies he owns.

python · October 13, 2004 11:04AM

I always forget to set it on public viewing.

Shold be fixed.

<< It's probably just another one of his dozen William I pennies he owns >>

I didn't post a single English coin.

Not mine, but I thought it deserved a place here.

Not mine either, but it used to be.

Finally, this is still mine.

We should do this more often.

Bravo!! Simply Beautiful!!

Here's a couple of my favorite bilge coins.

theboz11 · October 14, 2004 4:12AM

Is there room for a couple more

laurentyvan · October 14, 2004 4:25AM

After seeing the beautiful colors exhibited here I have to think about the ultimate desireable state of a coin-a topic for another thread.

The images contributed by Spineynorman, thebozII, and Syraq are breathtaking- and we don't see these coins very often!

cosmicdebris · October 14, 2004 5:04AM

Mainly for DH. Better images of a coin a posted earlier in this thread

cosmicdebris · October 14, 2004 5:07AM

JadeRareCoin · October 14, 2004 5:09AM

Well, this sure is a humbling thread. After seeing some of these toners, my coins now look like crap! Beautiful stuff!
