and to think this coin used to be white ... share your album toners

I bought this coin so long ago, digital cameras were still an idea. Too bad we can't compare pictures then until now.
Even then I tried to buy less of the white than the originally toned coins, but occassionally I bought them white then, just as I do now. This one was one of those ... and when I bought her, I assure you she was white. The date was tough, the surfaces and strike worthwhile, and even though I had a hard time with justifying the price I paid back then, she came home with me.
For the better part of ten years she rested most of her time in a whitman album ... for the last few years in a little snap-tite ... and maybe here pretty soon, the PCGS graders will get to have a look up close, as I am considering sending a batch of these in.
No matter, I just thought I'd share, as I'm sure glad she stayed
Do you have formerly brilliant coins that have been sitting collecting color for a decade or more? Please share them!!

The toning on this one has grown deeper through the years since I bought it.
I like them, thanks for sharing...
Here in the High Dry Desert of Colorado we do not get much toning, we have to import it..."-)
Not to muck this thread up with Modern Crap ( but I will any way"-) here's one that was in the right place for the right amount of time...
Not Whitman Toning but a similar original cardboard insert...
Currently Listed: Nothing
Take Care, Dave
Gemini, although I'm not a big fan of the design, I really like the color that one has developed
Dave ... hey, at least it's pretty modern crap!
come on day crowd, show us some album toners!!

This was in my Dansco typeset before it went out to ANACS... Maybe I'll set it free. Whaddaya think?
