    I am impressed with the cameo quality of this set. Too bad the Moose toned (image).

    One of my all-time favorite toners. Just a deep, rich natural range of color on this small silver Polish 2 zlote from 1934. Looks a lot better in hand. Nicely toned Polish coins from this period are very rare, as most have been cleaned over the years:

    Here's a 960 overstrike with nice color. I have another coming this week, hopefully, which has also potential.

    WWW - I'll second that compliment - that is one of the nicest Central American 8 reales I have seen. I'll take a nice AU with some character and an attractive patina over a clean mint state example any day of the week.

    Edited to say AU-50 seems conservative on that piece.

    Ditto to WWW. Especially like the way the toning flows around the work hardened metal of the lettering. Hard to believe a coin that old could be completely original, but that once certainly looks like it might be. Nothing but honest wear that I can see. image

    WWW, can you see any traces of the "R" on the right of the tree, or was the die completely filled?

    Hey Roman,

    The R is partially visible, although it looks more like a P.

    Great pictures everyone...I wish my photo skills were up to the task...I've got one seriously awesome Japanese 50 sen I bought from MadMarty. Maybe if he looks at this thread he may be able to post an old picture of it.

    The toning pattern above the goose spells out OTTAWA (in reverse). Kind of cool, eh?

    Both dollars are PCGS PL67 and have nice cameos.

    I should have held onto this one a bit longer. Unfortunately the only image I had before I sold it was from a scanner.

    Thank you, Mesquite. You have some very cool toners too.

    The images do not do this PCGS MS65 Newfoundland commemorative justice. It is much prettier in hand:

    Tis one is an oddball of sorts. I pulled it out of one of the 1973 double dollar sets.
