Here is an oddly toned peace dollar. Not sure if it is AT or NT...

Some Lovely looking coins everyone!



SD, that Peace dollar looks AT to me.



Here's a Franklin with Whitman's "text" toning on the obverse (like Bryce's), and a linear pattern on the reverse that no one is really sure how it develops, as the coin was NOT in contact with paper/cardboard with that pattern.

I think a good name for this one would be "Warping of The Space Time Continuum".......

I have seen that multiple times and I think that the answer is that it was coined from a die that just had a cleaning wipe. Whatever was on the cloth was left on the surface of the die and caused the coin to tone that way. No need for a bag or paper.

Oh My.

The second 1881 Morgan, and the 1875 Trade Dollar.

Stunning.

Would love to see in what we call 'Real Life.'

I am seeing green spots before my eyes.



Crazy colors and I need to reimage as it might be a doubled die.

Not my coin, obviously.



Stumbled across it in the Pinnacle archives last night and it made my eyes shoot out on springs.



Mind you, the toning is a little weird, but... wow. What a coin.

morgansforever's 1885 0 Morgan looks like a "Lunar Eclipse".

ElmerFusterpuck's S mint mark Morgan looks like "Metamorphosis"

grip's 1881 Morgan looks like "Rebirth of the Phoenix".

grip's 1887 Morgan look like "Kaleidoscope".

Awesome. For sale?

Thanks for the offer, but no chance (as you probably guessed). I think we all probably feel real comfortable saying a toning pattern like this on a Peace dollar is a rather rare bird.

Funny story now that I think about it - the seller actually came barking on my door to buy this one for a really good/ridiculous price.

Cant blame me for trying

Here a unique toning pattern on buffalo nickel struck from an overextended die pair that I find extremely attractive. This particular one has been graded by pcgs with the *****igned grade of 61. A very low population.
