Is there any such thing as an "attractively toned" Lynchburg?

I own a pretty nice MS66 Lynchburg, but it's got that yellowish toning that so many of them have.

Has anyone seen a rainbow toned (or even attractively toned) Lynchburg? Does this issue just not come with nice toning?

Very few exist. But they can be found.

For me this is the nicest known:

The Bingham Lynchburg is as good as it gets.

Sometimes, the temperature the planchets were annealed

at, can give a different crystyline form to the coins surface.

This in turn can change the frequency and kinds of toning

some coins receive. How coins, especially commems,were stored prior to

distributioncan effect the toning. Finally, when coins were sold in cardboard holders,

you will have the tell tab toning on the coin that some people like and some people

hate. There may be additional reasons, but this is a start.

Yowza!!! That Lynchburg has dazzling eye-appeal. Those greens are spectacular
Edited to say: I see as of recently the Bingham Collection is now #2 on the NGC Registry Set, but IMHO his coins are among the absolute most dazzling examples in terms of toning eye-appeal.

Living here in Lynchburg, the local coin shop has quite a few Lynchburg commems come through. Early this past summer, the local shop obtained a few examples that were in a cardboard holder as issued from the a bank. I saw one of them and it was an awesome coin. However, when it was sent in to be slabbed, it came back AT even though everyone that looked at it did not think so. Maybe the Lynchburg coins are so bland that when a wild one does comes through, no one believes it.
