    Yeah I like it so far. Im not just after "toners" for toners sake. Theres a sub culture of unique tonage within the toner niche that I feel ive gotten with each of those coins. Some advice from members on here made me think long and hard about which route to go.

    I love Coin 5 becasue it almost looks like a transparent US Flag is draped over lady liberty.

    That 1898 looks nice and fiery- almost like toned copper.

    Nice coins. image

    The 98 is awesome. It looks like those irredescant opal rocks they sell at the mall. Looking at it straigt on you can see very little color, almost like a slate grey look to it. Then flashing it in the light brings out the rainbows and creates a cameo effect on the lady that is just awesome to play with.

    Look close at the toning on the 1921, there's a distinct face in the toning. His eye is in the Y of liberty.

    Does anyone know what would cause the toning in coin #3(the fire opal)? Would that be some kind of water enviroment?
