Target toned 1941C Newfoundland 10c.....

I rarely see toning this nice.

The pictures do not show the colors and luster of the coin very well.

Much better in hand.

ICCS ms65.

    Very nice. It inspired me to get new pictures of my own Newfie monster toner... One of my first monster toners, paid over 2x the catalog price for it at the time (untoned this would have gone for 50% of trends at best), which I thought was nuts but I WAAAANTED it. And I'm glad I shelled out for it!

    Seller's slightly juiced pic, but fairly accurate for what it looks like in hand:

  • Nice coins! image
    I've been slowly putting together a MS Newfie type set but finding good material at prices I can afford isn't easy.
    The Victorian coins in MS are quite pricey.
    The mintages on most of the Newfie coins is very small but the lack of popularity tends to keep the prices down, esp. for the later issues.

    Interesting. And pretty.

    I wonder what caused that. Heat?

    I'm not suggesting it was "artificially" heat-toned. I've just seen coins that were stored in a hot attic pick up that sort of toning from whatever paper they were stored in, is all. But that's here, in the coastal Deep South. I wouldn't imagine attics in Newfoundland get THAT hot in the summer. (Here, they can top 120 degrees Fahrenheit- 130, even.)

  • I've got one of those "juiced" Newfies too. Just can't get the colours to come out!!

    I'm really not sure. Newfoundland coins seem to tone much differently than other similar coins for some reason.
