Slowly building a toned cent registry as cheaply as possible

I started a project a few years ago building a registry of toned cents found raw in eBay albums. The majority of the albums were purchased for under $50 each. Yes, I know my photos suck. Some have already been graded and some are waiting to go. Here’s my slow progress so far.

You have some real beauties, there! And based on your posts, you do a great job of showing others that a collector can have fun and acquire great looking coins without having to spend large amounts of money.

@AlanSki. Very nice! Casting no aspersions on your coins, how has pcgs been on calling them nt vs at/qt?
Great idea, awesome looking so far, keep going

Very difficult ones to find there so far! The 1930s and 1940s and 1950s seem to show up a lot more frequently than the later dates you have found. Bravo!

I haven’t received an AT coin yet with any of my subs. These are a couple I’ve subbed in the past but sold off since then. The 62D, at the time, was the first AU58+ graded by PCGS for memorial cents. I haven’t checked the pops since then.
I subbed this and it ended up being a solo top pop. I sold it off after receiving stupid money for a memorial cent. MS66BN. 1960D LD. I originally bought it raw from someone either here or coin talk for around $16.
You paid $16 for a raw brown uncirculated Memorial Cent?
Years ago (2010-2013?) I paid $10 for a pretty toned gem BU CN clad Washington Quarter. It was eventually graded PCGS MS67+ and I sold it for big money. I know of no other person in my area who would have considered paying that kind of money for pocket change. The coin was a beaut!
Nice. Only about 80 more to go if you are only doing memorial reverse.

Toned sets are slow to build. Not Sagrada Familia slow, but definitely a “long haul” kinda thing.
