Nice little show at the Holiday Inn by Los Angeles Airport today. Found this nice little piece of toned gold in a PCGS holder:D A few scratches on the holder. Sorry, the image is a little blurry but the 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial is the size of a dime!

Hi Stef, Beautiful example. The 1926 $2.50 Sesquicentennial is 10% copper so these can tone really well....like yours
Very nice, but how does your 76 Kennedy Half compare?
Well.......everything looks better in gold

Great looking coins Irvin. Toned gold is really cool. I love when gold displays the orange peel look and shows that yellow-orangish look when stored properly and the alloy was mixed thoroughly. Toned gold can be really beautiful. I tried to capture the colors in this half eagle, but could only show some of the effect....best I could do through plastic. I like the re-cut date on this one - probably the reason I bought it.
