Too colorful. I like my ugly brown one better.

I don't know how he does it but Richard Abrams always gets the "good stuff"!

Maybe this GEM will catch your eye?

how about:

and a toned 1950!!! are you kidding me, how often does one encounter this???

SOME SUPER auctions by Greattoning on ebay...... I feel like a little girl in a old time candy store.... Daddy, look at all the colors!

They are both very beautiful but I prefer the 1958 with the target toning over the 1962.

Thanks for sharing. They are obviously going to go for a pretty hefty price considering they are both being sold by greattoning. His photos really bring out the beauty in the coins he sells.

The thing about these toners is they are all unique and individual..... should be some strong bidding...

Link to the auctions

Lucy you posted more pictures while I was still typing. Out of the second group I like the 1950 and the 1963. The toning on the 1953 really doesn't do much for me.

Well..not being a Frankie man myself, I could actually learn to like that one...

That one is right pretty!

What kind of toning is that? It looks almost identical to a seated quarter I have (see sig below). Although my picture doesn't do justice, the color scheme is the same.

I have some frankies that I AT'ed in my front yard that look similar to those.

ttt for the morning crowd...

Higashiyama · June 16, 2003 9:32PM

LucyBop -- uhhh, how did mint set toning get on those proofs?

LucyBop · June 16, 2003 9:33PM

good question, some of them tone in the original proof set boxes, others may have been put into a album.....

Mike is alive and well. Talk to him offen or by e-mail. He's been very busy...just wait a bit longer and than get ready!

I'm still here -- just been extremely busy. I bought a large old time collection (the last coin was added to it in 1959) just prior to Long Beach along with a lot of other coins and several monster government issued double mint sets. I've been submitting lots of coins to PCGS and have more in the pipeline. Moreover, we're finally redesigning our website -- getting rid of the online newsletter and market news sections so we can devote 100% of our attention toward keeping the coin offerings fresh at all times. Over the next two to three weeks we will be adding hundreds of new coins from cents through gold with lots of (for lack of a better term) superb registry quality examples from many series. I will also be offering coins again on eBay within a few weeks.

You DA MAN Mike!!!

rainbowroosie · June 17, 2003 11:23AM

Higasiyama,
To answer your question, the 1950 came from an original proof set bought at last October's Long Beach Show for "stiff" money...Coin toned inside a 5 coin hard plastic Capitol holder as did the quarter and dime in the same set. Half went NGC 66, I have the Quarter and Dime in my sets, both are PCGS 67..... The 1958 wild toned in one of the old black cardboard holders (similar to the utterly amazing 1942 proof set from the Goldberg Sale last year) with the plastic sliding windows. The only way you can get this green is from this type of black cardboard holder, a 57/58 mint set, or some exotic holder..... The 1957 NGC PR68* CAMEO coin Lucy posted last week also toned in a hard Capitol plastic holder as did the 1950...Nature does amazing things.....The 1957 will soon be on greattoning's website.....The best coin in the set is not being sold...The 1952 is greeeeennnn and amazing. Likely to see that on Mr. D's site in the future.
