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!

Looks like someone has Gold Fever. Quick get to a coin doctor!

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.

I like the half eagle and Escudo the best. Very nice

While I do not share your interest in tarnished gold, I do like gold....and that five dollar Indian is very nice.... Cheers, RickO

Right on, brother.

asheland · July 26, 2016 12:35AM

Great additions!

jwitten · July 26, 2016 3:14AM

The 2004 came in today.... WOW it looks nice! I need to submit it to pcgs for some better pictures!

Boosibri · July 26, 2016 3:38AM

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?

jwitten · July 26, 2016 3:48AM

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

jwitten · July 26, 2016 3:24PM

I took a few more pics of the $5 Indian that brings out the color a bit more
