    The 19 is an example but I have a problem with a bunch of examples.
    I respect everyone’s choice of collecting “what you like “ but several others with way more knowledge are trying to teach me about that type of toning and I’m just not seeing it. Maybe some day 😉

    I think that they are all pretty... many of the ones post in this topic have incredible toning,thanx for posting them! I haven't had much opportunity to see anything like them in hand, and not sure if they'd be in my budget if similar became available!

    The pics I take are poor but here are my TrueViews

    I remember making this mercury dime, you must have bought it off me, forgot I even sold it!

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    @SanctionII @lablover Very nice, well done. @bagofnickels Some nice color along those rims.

    I love it when this thread gets bumped. :smile:

    Here's a Frisco & Denver crusty duo from 1925, PCGS AU55 and AU50, respectively. Frisco was a cross-over from an NGC AU58. Minor lighting adjustments on these TVs (contrast/exposure/shadows).

    MS63 recently crossed to PCGS. I prefer the TrueView over the PhotoVision. What do you think?
    Greg, you may have already seen this one on my IG.

    I do recall seeing that one. I would prefer the photo that shows how it looks in hand. The TrueView definitely looks warmer whereas the NGC photo looks like it could be a bit over exposed, not sure. Nice though.

    Got this from a DLRC auction recently. This isn't my series, and I didn't need this for any of the sets I'm working on, but I've never seen one like it before and had to have it. PCGS MS66FB — Photo credit is DLRC; eventually I'll send to PCGS for a TrueView.

    Interesting coin! DLRC has a system where they rank coins by Eye Appeal from 1 to 5 stars. How many stars did they give this one?

    Apparently, I never posted my one and only Mercury Dime to this thread. It is my favorite!

    Definitely a nice one!

    I got carried away!

    I certainly don't mind. Lol, I love that 18-S (the others too) and I seriously thought about buying that 35-D but I really did not like the price. I'm glad it ended up in a nice set.
