This is a business strike coin, not a Special Mint Set piece. These 1965-67 business strikes in high grade are supertough! This one I nabbed off of eBay when everybody else was sleeping, and the seller called it Picasso color, a phrase I liked so much I use it to this day for this coin. I have had a lot of interest in this coin over the years, but it's part of our #2 Complete Registry Set, not for sale at this time. Enjoy!

I don't have too many in the way of toned coins, but here's one I find rather nice. This is a silver Groschen from the BULGARIAN EMPIRE. The toning is subtle, but nice IMO.

BULGARIAN EMPIRE~AR Groschen 1331-1355 AD.

I put this thread on the World and Ancient Coins, Conder tokens etc. forum but U.S. or anything else is also acceptable! I personally love coins with beautiful patina that is original IMHO. Having been a collector/dealer for more than 50 years now, I think I can tell the difference. At any rate ... Post your most beautifully toned coins!

This is one that is in the mail to me now as we speak ... but I think it is awesome! Here is the PCGS TrueView certificate ... I trust it will look pretty close to this, they usually do a pretty good job with those.

Enjoy!

Best Regards, 

I knew it would happen ... I took this piece to the Knoxville show and another World dealer just couldn't live without it ... I hated to part with it but I tell myself ... there will always be more coins to buy!

This little baby is among my favorites ... a spectacularly toned Gem Newfoundland 1943-C five cent. The Newfoundland coins are really underrated in that they are superlow-mintage coins that are seldom found in high grade ... yet do not cost overmuch on those rare occasions when one is found. Sorry I don't have a good shot of the obverse but it is similar to the reverse.
