Got this one from CRO's list on 10 Jun 2020. It's stunning in hand, with booming amazing luster. It's graded MS64 - John and I both agree that it looks much closer to MS65 in hand. Regardless, the "64" in no way detracts.

I adjusted the original (red-shifted) PCGS TrueView to reflect a more accurate view as compared to in-hand. I also put the coin on my standard collection dark gray background.

San Francisco, California. Mechanics' Institute silver Award Medal. Engraved and awarded to Weed & Kingwell in 1885. (49mm, 43.50 g, 12h). By A. Kuner.

MECHANIC'S' INSTITUTE, Columbia standing facing upon base featuring "MI" (Mechanics' Institute) monogram; she presents laurel crown to personifications of industry—with hammer, anvil, gear, and compass—and of agriculture—with plow, sickle, bushel, grapes, palette, and harp; in background, locomotive crossing stone bridge and steamship sailing in the bay; SAN FRANCISCO in exergue / INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION / AWARDED TO, Weed & Kingwell / "Best Plumbers Goods" elaborately engraved in two lines; decorative scroll work above and below; all within laurel wreath; 1885 in cartouche in exergue. Edge: Plain.

The Mechanics’ Institute in San Francisco was originally established as a vocational school for unemployed minors in 1854, just a few years after the gold rush and California statehood. Without the presence of facilities such as universities and pubic libraries, it served as one of the only sources by which one could attain a more advanced education in a trade. In this role, the institute was instrumental in the formation of the University of California in 1868, along with its eventual public university system. The institute is still extant, though now mostly acts in a different role, housing a vast library as well as serving as a cultural center and as a home to the oldest continually operating chess club in the United States.

No stranger to technical prizes at industrial shows, the California Brass Works—with Joseph H. Weed and Vincent Kingwell as proprietors—was established in 1851 by Gallagher & Weed and recognized as one of the leading firms in this branch of trade. Located at 125 1st Street in San Francisco, their operation is summarized by this print advertisement from the 1883 Strangers’ Guide to San Francisco and Vicinity: "Manufacturers of all kinds of Brass, Composition, Zinc and Babbit Metal Castings. Church and Steamboat Bells. Also, a full assortment of Steam and Water Cocks and Valves, Hydraulic Pipes, Nozzles and Hose Couplings, etc. Brass Ship Work, Spikes, Sheathing Nails, Rudder Braces, etc. Agents for Siebert’s Eureka Lubricator."

Your view looks much more like a coin that would exist in real life, and a beautiful one at that. I wish PCGS would take a cue from you.

Happy Toner Tuesday everyone!

norsemen012 · July 28, 2020 10:14AM

That is one beautifully tone coin I love the colors in it....wow

norsemen012 · July 28, 2020 10:37AM

Here is another one of my favorite toned Icelandic coin...Its a 1946 2 Kronur in a PCGS holder graded MS-65.
You rarely see these coins toned with anything other then with a golden hue and that is rather rare in its self.

norsemen012 · July 28, 2020 10:40AM

Another one a 1946 1 Krona with a hint of reddish/golden hue

Inscribed on the edge - "Josh Jones Esqr _ Presented by the Subscribers to the School, 20th April 1829".

Euclid · September 8, 2020 10:44AM

For such a small coin I think it's toned pretty well. It's fun both in hand and in the pictures.

TwoKopeiki · September 29, 2020 8:31AM

I think it's Tuesday... New addition from @Senator32

Yonaka - M8-108-VII Type B portrait - First year of issue for Ferdinand VII. Uniquely toned signature coin from Morton & Eden's March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection. Part of lot #388 HSA Inventory #1001.1.9729 donated in 1946. Very happy to add this one to the other Huntington's already in my collection.

Abuelo · September 29, 2020 8:56AM

Very good looking coin @TwoKopeiki !

Thank you! Interesting note, at first I wasn't able to quickly match the coin to the 3 known examples in the HSA inventory of Huntington collection until i realized that the black and white images in the original inventory actually show a white coin that ended-up toning to the colors we see today over the 70+ years on display.

That's a gorgeous Segovia 8R. I don't know a lot about the mainland Mints - does that aqueduct look different than usual? Also, neat styling of the 8 in the date.

Abuelo · February 3, 2021 9:31AM

Looks like the aqueduct... what difference @TwoKopeiki ?

When i first saw it, I thought the aqueduct looked longer than what it was supposed to. Quick search points to a number of varieties with difference in number of levels and arches.

Abuelo · February 3, 2021 9:50AM

Thanks @TwoKopeiki ?

AuldFartte · February 3, 2021 10:55AM

I know. It's Wednesday. I'm late. Here's my latest Canadian toner:

The Real Ingenio only started production of silver coins in 1586 and these early issues seem to have a wide variety in aqueduct styles -- there were multiple dies on the rollers so perhaps each had a different style by intention.
