Pardon the repost but I just don't own many coins with colorful toning. I was only able to capture the toning on this one because it hasn't been encapsulated yet.

Cool toners, everyone!



I've always been partial to this soft golden green-blue palette:

marcmoish

Great pcs here ...from the original description; "Crenulated surfaces through the date as-struck, with layers of tone exhibiting a multitude of different colors within mostly gray overall toning. Strike weakness evident, especially in the central legends of the denomination. Not much actual wear from circulation. A conditionally very scarce coin, the issue when typically encountered seldom ever looks this nice."

It is as graded indeed - in an NGC 55 holder.















sorry for the large pics - just can't resize it ;/

Dazzling coins. You just can't beat a nicely toned coin.

Beautifull toned stuff guys.

@Zohar did you buy that greek 30 Drachma coin from member Zompels ?
love the blue toned Medetarian sea and the earth toned Greek and Turkey mainland

I know I'm late too, but I think you won't mind these:

(FYI - the Roman name for Strassburg is Argentoratum. The "AR'GENT" in the obverse legend doesn't refer to the precious metal, at least not directly.)

Andres, you took the words out of my mouth, I was just about to PM him regarding that 30 drs. He probably made an "unethical" proposal to zompels and he got it. You'd be surprised (still talking to YOU andres), of how high the prices go for nicely toned examples in 66, let alone 67 and with a star too.

Surprisingly not... floated on ebay. This common coin had everything going for it.

The grocer Robert Orchard appears to have been quite a dandy with a series of tokens in his likeness. Here's Middlesex 400.

Love the skin on that one, Jack! That greenish / teal color around the reverse is definitely one of my favorites when it comes to toning.

That greek coin is amazing.

This copper example of Middlesex 24 was likely issued by the son of David Alves Rebello as a tribute to his late father.

This is a bronze medal from Spain celebrating Mexico's centennial of Independence in 1910. I find the contrasting bronze tones quite attractive.

And jgenn you can post that Isabel all you want!
