"Monster" toner is subjective, one may consider it while another may not.

Here's a 1924 SLQ. I don't know if you would consider it Monster Toned, but it's certainly far from BU.

NICE COINS... Keep them coming!
For this particular series, I do consider your coin "monster toned."

Nice coins. Thank you.

Standard "I don't know if it's MONSTER" disclaimer applies:
I don't know about monster, but it's an AU with color.

So...you mean hideous, frightful, not attractive, etc...?

Monster meaning attractive vivid multicolors on a circulated coin?
Such toning will generally be secondary following a cleaning. Not always, but often. Not necessarily a bad thing tho

My '24 above would have made a perfect companion piece to your '28!! It's a beauty.
@ElmerFusterpuck posted an incredibly toned bust half on Instagram.
When I read the headline I immediately though of Justacommemans Technicolor Dreamcoat.

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......

I was going to post it then I remembered it was MS65. I guess grades don't matter much sometimes

Ha! That's awesome. My mistake.
AU58.
I've always thought of my 1817/3 PCGS 58 as having really nice toning for a Bust Half.....Monster toning though is subjective

Buffalo Historical Society auction coins (2004?). The late 18th century and early 19th century circ type coins were often abrasively cleaned decades earlier, then placed back in an album. They toned back with vivid blues, greens, reds, etc. Many of them ended up in graded holders. I recall a well circulated 1794/1795 half dime (F-XF?) that had wonderful peripheral toning...under obviously cleaned/overly bright surfaces. Couldn't believe it actually graded out.
I get a kick out of the PCI "100 % White" or "90 % white" coins that are fully enveloped in toning from the holder.
This NGC old fattie AU55 CAC gold sticker is now PCGS AU58+ CAC.
I've shown it before. Forgive me.
