Toned Coin Mega Thread

Over the years, many gorgeous toners have been posted. Unfortunately, they are spread out over many different threads, and have gone into oblivion. I thought it would be cool to start a toner "mega" thread, similar to the mega Barber thread, where our toners could be posted for everyone's continued enjoyment. The thread would have two benefits: 1) It would provide a single resource for the toners; and 2) The thread is clearly marked such that those who don't like toners will know from the get-go that they can steer clear. Any toned coin of any denomination or country is eligible. Any takers? Here is one of mine, a GSA.

The '67 Washington is the best I have seen for that issue.
The '45 Walker is superb.
The Sesqui commen. is special.

<< <i>That 1961 Lincoln is unreal. I have no clue how some of these coins get toned like this but that 61 is one of the coolest coins id ever seen >>
Thanks!
Something odd happened in 1961 causing a spike in monster toned Proof Lincolns (note that this spike did not occur in regular biz strike Lincolns, only Proofs. You can clearly see this spike in the PCGS population reports of BN (the colorful ones) Proof Lincolns.
So whatever happened, the toning appears to take place INSIDE the mint sealed cello proof packaging. Some theories I have heard ... there were trace impurities in the proof blanks, there was an unusual pre-striking rinse of proof blanks, there were trace impurities in the proof cello in 1961.
Here are some other nice 1961 Proof Lincoln examples:
