1950 PCGS MS65 the obverse is mostly white, the reverse is the eye candy. Also MS 63 1965 type one. Again the reverse is the best but the obverse toning isn't bad on this one. These are the ebay photos. I'll have them imaged professionally.

<< <i>These coins are very nicely designed and seem to tone very well. Any reason as to why they tend to be colorful? >>
IMHO, I think there are two reasons:
- 80% silver content
- many were placed in felt lined packaging as gifts and/or year sets or stored in the clamshell holders from the 1970's to help tone

it is usually some "outside" influence which will trigger more pronounced toning.
like the felt in the containers or boxes (clam-shells) some chemical, or the prolonged exposure to light and environment, both ends of some rolls being exposed.
the best examples are the 1972 and 1973 50% silver dollars.
Personally I do not believe that excessive rainbow toning is caused naturally... I suspect there is always some "help" in form of many avenues...( boiled eggs, solphur, baking, baked potatoes, raw oak branches, etc.. etc
I have a silver dollar, will post images tomorrow, where the chemicals in clear tape caused rainbow toning. BUT the section where the tape was, is absolutely clear and not affected. (Lack of oxygen???)
I love natural toning and your looks like it is.
just for info, do you have images before it was slabbed?
I have some modern toned silver coins of 1963 , ill share images later

WHAT would you fellows do with it? it looks funny, as the un-affected section are clean white.
What to do with this one? I would take a good look with a stronger loupe or even a microscope to see if there is evidence of tape on the coin. If not, I would leave it as is.
Not sure this will be a very popular response...

<< <i>NIce color on that 64. Here is the 1950 reverse, my photo. Same coin as the first photo in the thread which was an ebay pic. I was right though it is very lustrous in hand. >>
Gorgeous !!!!!

And , the latest find with the 67s: a few with small beads / obverse, have been discovered.

if it comes back a 64 it will not be so interesting, as the monetary value is only a fraction of that of a 65.
and please do not forget, Canadian TPG's do very seldom, if at all, consider Eye appeal.
