    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Put some wheat cents into a cigar tube 30 years ago.

    It's a shame the purples and blues don't come out. If anyone has advice on picking up these colors please let me know. There are wide swaths of brilliant purple blues and lavender and some straight blues (the latter just look like copper coins).

    Also I don't know if you guys can see them, and I sound like a madman.

    (Still very pretty IMO)

    My dad bought this on some dialup Prodigy type auction house. It is my most favorite toned coin and favorite Roosie I've ever owned.


    Decades later he would pass this purple blue obverse and solid brass reverse quarter onto me. It's amazing in person. A bright deep purple front and looking like a cent on the back.


    My other favorite kind of toning. I call it "old silver coin" toning. Artwork by Charles Morgan did the bust of Columbus and Barber did the ships. I love this artwork compared to Morgan Dollars and the Barber series. It is a fine exposition of their combined talents. Honestly I think it's under appreciated.

    Well thank you! I've had a rough day Turbosnail and that was the highlight. No better form of coin flattery.

    Siince you asked and I would never market on my own I do have a box of twenty type stuff going to auction in May. It's a boutique type auction. It starts with a L and ends with a D and rhymes with Zegend.

    Mark, please provide some tech details about this ancient coin for those of us that do not know....like what is the metal composition that accounts for the toning. We have annimated discussions about copper toning that threaten to break this forum into two warring camps........ and I am just waiting for one of the flat landers to say your coin is AT. Just becausue a fight is much more special if you are in on it. LOL.

    I'm Polish. My family stuck it in a beet for 125 years. The old word 1594 silver reacted with the the chemical composition and metabolisable-energy contents of the beet cause the toning. High concentrations of water-soluble carbohydrates were taken into account. Gross energy content was relatively low.

    Being poor we could only afford MS-17 and that couldnt cut it and roosters were hard to come by.

    Are you happy now

    I marvel at the last Indian you posted. Keep up the good fight,

    When I was a child, my father took me to a nice fairly local coin show. I had just started my paper routes and didn't have a lot of money. I was too awe inspired that I lost track of how much money I had left. Wasn't able to get my Morgan, and finally own a whole silver dollar! We look through our coins and dad double checks mine. He's putting everything away and slips me this.
