    And then there are the bag toners that that are sisters... This one is the sister coin to the green one I posted above with the ex David Hall Morgan and came out of the same bag as the green one... It was in a small hoard and it has such incredible eye appeal sits as one of my all time favorite textile bag toners... AB

    Cant compete with you all...But sure like the "bag lady"

    The only crescent I have left. My daughter talked me out of my others.

    If It doesn't have great eye appeal, I don't want it.

    I personally like the target toning type. While i like the appearance of those that are fully toned and can appreciate some vivid colors, something to my eyes is really cool about seeing colors around the edges and workings its way into a whiter field in the middle.

    On Morgans, this is the kind of toning I like. I prefer toning that matches equally on both sides of the coin. One-sided bag toning and that iridescent toning turns me off.

    What a great grouping of toned dollars in this thread. AuroraBorealis you are in a class all by your self.

    If It doesn't have great eye appeal, I don't want it.

    What was the OGH grade?

  • AuroraBorealisAuroraBorealis Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thank you ArtR!
    Cameo it was awhile ago and I`m not sure if I ever knew the grade...

    Like pretty girls, I like them all !

    Serious about liking all the great coins that have been posted.
    Each toned coin has it own personality.

    I took images of AB's coins since they're so outstanding but forgot to get permission to do so.

    I hope you say it's ok.

    Best Al

    I also like nice stripe toners. Both tape and old album cardboard strip. They fall under my "unusual non-EOR pattern" category

    @CascadeChris - Really cool array of tape reverse toners :)

    Thanks but only the bottom is a tape toner, and double sided to boot!

    The 5 up top are from those old pre-slide albums that had a cardboard strip in the back to prevent the coins from falling through. That's why the vast majority you see with this thin strip is a reverse toner

    Very nice ronctx with a cool name!
    That is a very cool and consistant put together set of strap toning CascadeChris! The best set of those I have seen...
    Here is one mine I call "Razzle Dazzle".... AB

    Then you have a coin that piece of thread or string interferes with the toning process.

    If It doesn't have great eye appeal, I don't want it.

    That is so cool ArtR!!! Love it!

    Nice. I'd call her "Electric Earworm"

    A lot of great looking coins on here for sure. Some, when you first see the toning, reminds you of something right away for a name, others it's harder to think of something.

    For instance, when I saw these, the first thing that came to mind was:

    "Frustrated Lovers"

    "Sunshine On My Shoulders" (John Denver song)

    "A Nation Divided"

  • rheddenrhedden Posts: 6,626 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I actually like coins that have a little bit of rim toning, but I do not have to pay a premium for it. The little bit of rim toning tells me it wasn't dipped in recent memory.

  • gemtone65gemtone65 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭

    My favorite color is emerald green. Usually, however, when seen it comes in streaks or crescents, or mixed with several other colors. It rarely comes with most of the coin fully toned in emerald green, unlike say, blue. Here is a rare exception.

    Wow! All green is right. Is that graded? Never mind I see it is.

  • rainbowlover1rainbowlover1 Posts: 402 ✭✭✭

    @AuroraBorealis - I almost had a heart attack looking at them coins... Amazing !!!

    @ArtR - What a pretty coin with that string in the pattern! Just beautiful

    @gemtone65 - That's a green beast !!! Outstanding

    My favorite type?? NONE!! But everyone already knew that... :D:D ....
    @AuroraBorealis... Wayne that is an amazing layout of your collection... you have tremendous consistency in your collection. Even though it is not my preference, I must admire the collection you have assembled.
