Post your ice cold beauty!

Denver was slammed with an epic hailstorm this afternoon. Got home and two hours later, the hail was still so large as to dwarf the quarter in comparison:

In honor of the ice cold quarter, I present two of my favorite toned quarters, these Seated Libs:

Nice quarters!

"Iceberg"

Wow! I've fortunately never seen hail like that!

Bet there were some messed up cars in Denver!

"Ice cold", hmm? That makes me think "really frosty" coins, or "coins with blues in the toning".

Though already posted recently, this is the closest I can come to either of those criteria in my present collection.

I have never seen hail that big here in the North East, luckily
Very nice coins above.

Those are nasty hail stones..... I have seen them as large as big marbles... they were bad enough - and they hurt...Those would do damage to cars - and people. Cheers, RickO

I have seen these things knock holes in the roof of houses. They can travel at over 100 MPH.

Not my coin, but I keep going back to look at her;

That hail

AmazonX · May 9, 2017 11:32AM

@oih82w8 I would love to see that one in hand. That blue is SICK.

1863 Proof quarter.

1869 Proof quarter.

That hailstorm was no joke. A Colorado friend of mine was driving his Tesla at the time. Caused $35k worth of damage to it

I was at work, in the center of the city, and it hailed for 15 minutes but never got bigger than grape-sized. The above pics were at my parents' house. Lots of dings and damage, a couple broken windows, and the cars fared poorly. My sister, who lives about a mile away, got hammered too, and the house paint took a battering. We are still assessing damage ahead of a visit from the insurance adjustor. Given the widespread damage to the Denver area, it may take a while to get things fixed, especially the body damage.

Probably the biggest hailstones I've ever seen in Denver proper, at least since our infamous 1990 hailstorm.

Btw, the coins in this thread are magnificent! Frosty and toned beauties!

Beautiful coins everyone- giving me chills!!! Here is a pick-up that arrived yesterday- posted in Washington Quarter thread yesterday, but thought appropriate here too. I love this one; has a "icy shimmer" look to it. 1943-S MS64PL.

I can't think of a coin I own, that I have quality pics for, that encapsulates "frosty" more than this one (I know, I've posted it several times, but it's a favorite and one of my "box of 20" if I had to apply that intriguing label):
