How about some color?

Thanks Jean

It's tough, constant adjustment of lighting, camera angle/settings and lots of pictures, most of which get tossed.

My best one is probably this one:

I normally don't like the toned ones, but this one was in a batch I bought. Still like looking at it.

I've had a 1934 wrapped in old newspaper as a toning test for the past 3 years... wonder what it looks like now. Haven't opened it in as long either

It probably turned black. That is what happens when you but coins into an envelope.

You are welcome Thad... but how did you accomplish that endless circular rainbow toning.... ?

Here's the reverse of a 1955-S that was the end coin of an OBW roll. The roll was stored in a safe for 50 years or so and had minimal airflow, etc. I personally love naturally blue and green toned copper, but throw some pinks and oranges in there and the color combos can become even more interesting! ...Ray

Very nice Ray!

Beautiful coin Ray!
I haven't found many enders that are not spotted or corroded or just plain ugly.
It is nice to see how they could be!

A different 70-S toner I own....if you haven't guessed, I love these!
