Post your favorite toned silver coin and your favorite "white" coin.

Although my favorite dealer dislikes white coins (I recently asked him who bought the only Proof 68 DC Barber Dime at a recent auction and he said he didn't notice because it was a white coin) I like both toned and white coins. Here are one of each:

Post your favorites!

    For toned I would have to go to Sunnywood or TDN, for white I believe I would also have to go to TDN.

    I like many but here is one of my favorite toned coins from TDN's website:

    Next to my 1837 half which I don't have an image of, this would be my favorite white coin. It has wayyyy more flash than the image:

    This Amon Carter proof embodies everything I absolutely love about coins - electric blue periphery with light flashy center:

    Most white coins are pretty much the same.

    This is a pattern of a Great Britain copper penny struck in silver. PCGS 64 DCAM

    It has the most magnificent toning of any silver coin I have ever seen.

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    That IS what I had in mind but I guess we could just all choose from TDN's collection. image
