Hi All,
sitting here unable to sleep with this arm problem. Figured I'd start a thread of coins I like to look at. If you got 'em please post 'em - any toned Proofs 1936-1942. These are both 1941 issues. I'd love to see your toned Proof coins from this period

Best,
Billy

Here is a nicely toned, fully original 1942 half dollar in NGC PR-67. It's the nicest one I have seen for the money (well under $2,000) that I have seen in a long time. The pictures to not do it justice.

1936 Quarter NGC PR66 - I like this one because they are quite difficult to locate with any attractive color.

Here's a kind of neat 1936 Mercury Dime.

Here's my 1941 Lincoln
Sorry for the poor rainbow shot.

Baley · December 16, 2004 1:26AM

I need to take better pictures of both of these coins

Here is my favorite Mercury dime. It is a 1942 graded PF 67 by NGC. It is dark blue with rose highlights. The reverse is similar with a hint of green. The obverse is cameo. The reverse is rotated slightly and the bands are not full. This is really an interesting and unusual proof Merc.

CarlWohlforth · December 16, 2004 1:45AM

BTW I just love all the coins on this thread! Thanks for starting it Billy.

I have some but most of my coins are far away from me right now so I can't take new pictures. Here is a 1942 proof 66 half I have. it has gold rim toning which the camera didn't pick up well.

The other is a bit more unusual -a red satin 1936 proof cent.

Missed the proof part, thx Mark

I'm not much for toned coins in my Lincoln cent proof collection, but I do have one, my 1937 proof Lincoln. Follow the link at the bottom to see it in my registry. Steve

thanks everone,
gave me some beauitiful coins to look at! really nice toning - particularly the 36 25c, Carls 10c, and RGL's 38 5c with the white centers. i cant get at my coins and other collections or albums right now (paperwork, mri next for me, and my mates appendectomy incision has opened after 4 weeks

) so looking vicariously will have to do for now (and it is cheaper...) ohh, that last run of toned 5c...

best,
billy

heres another of my 5c: 1939 PCGS PR66 (lowest mintage of them all)
