I struck (toned) gold this weekend!

Well, it was another expensive weekend at the Witten household. I picked up SEVERAL gold toners (I couldn't believe how many I found this past week for sale!). Not all have arrived yet, so some of these are seller pics. Here they are.

    Can I say I am impressed toned gold is my favorite and the hardest to find you are lucky to find one every few months but three in a weekend is a grand slam. Where did you get the 2004 from I like it nice pick up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Just a lot of scrolling through listings. I sure paid a premium for a few of them, but your right, it was a great weekend for finding some!

    congrats! i like even toning on the 2004. toned indians have extra appeal, i think.

    The 2004 might be my favorite of the group.. and it was the cheapest! I would love to have pcgs grade it, with a true view, but I am a ngc member, not pcgs. Anyone know who I could piggyback off of? My local dealer is terrible.

    I like the Colombia Eight Escudos.

    Some of these coins remind me of the "Giant Orange" juice stands of the 1950's.

    Out of curiosity, is it common for Gold Eagles to tone? Is there something in the mint process or packaging which is imparting the toning as I wouldn't normally associate a modern gold piece with significant toning?

    I have one other with slight toning, and I have seen this pcgs example, but that is about it...
