Rim Toning, who likes it?

I find coins that look like this so irresistable, I had to buy it, even though I already had the date in gem:

Anyone else love the concentric, peripheral rim toning and legend toning, with the lighter centers?

bust out your camera and coins and show your best stuff!

Clankeye · November 21, 2003 9:27AM

I like it.

XpipedreamR · November 21, 2003 9:32AM

LucyBop · November 21, 2003 9:34AM

I like rim toning.

Nice coins guys and gals, maybe we can put together a "virtual collection"

This one's tough to photograph through the NGC plastic but you get the idea:

I have a Morgan that has a beautiful light rose rim tone. If I knew how to post a pic I'de give it a try.

Count me in as another fan of rim toning.I own several early commems with nice rim toning.Almost looks like a frame around the coin.

Almost looks like a frame around the coin.

exactly!

also, Clankeye you are making me want some gem darkside!

so far most of my foreign coins are ancient and 17-th-18th century, but those are beauties!

ElectricEye · November 21, 2003 11:02AM

WOW ~ I feel compelled to join the darkside

Clankeye · November 21, 2003 11:17AM

The Dark Side is full of classic, beautiful designs. I recommend it to all.

There is no law saying you can't also collect world coins if you are a US collector.

Also, the World Coin forum is a very fun place.

Rim toning like that is my favorite. Those are beauties.

Trooper · November 21, 2003 1:13PM

Is this considered rim toning?

wingedliberty · November 21, 2003 1:20PM

I love rim toning and peripheral toning in particular, resulting in a small crescent.
Excellent coins eveyone. Thank you for sharing.

Jamericon · November 21, 2003 2:10PM

Rim toning rules!! To me it is the most eye appealing.

lordmarcovan · November 21, 2003 2:46PM

Who doesn't like peripheral toning like that?

How 'bout this Morgan? Dig it, man! Think it's AT?

Baley · November 22, 2003 3:09AM

Lord M, that is a nice Morgan! I like how there are No marks in the Red areas, just a few in the orange and yellow, and the biggest marks are in the green area! It must be a high grade piece!

wingedliberty · November 22, 2003 3:13AM

Carl:
Those are some serious coins. I love the Quadrigga and the Swiss francs are not too shaby either!

I like rim toning (almost as much as I like the opportunity to post a thinly-disguised advertisement for an eBay auction -- ending tonight, bid now!)

Commercial-free SBA (photo taken at angle to show irridescent rim toning):

Here is a not so ancient rim toner.
