Ike is looking pretty good with some color on him.....:-)

I shot the image through the original black plastic holder
Almost no hits that I can see except for scratches on plastic:)

Show us your Ikes ;)

This otherwise big hunk of silver clad never looked better than now with some toning on him :D

How's the reverse?  That's my favorite side of the Ike dollars. ;D

Sorry, no Ikes worth mentioning in my collection.  I did sell about 12 of them a few months ago (from a trade), a couple were nicely toning.

Hey Stef.
Nice Ike. I love when Ikes tone like that. A lot of us classic coin collectors don't appreciate how some of these moderns can tone.
I don't have any Ike images uploaded but I just pulled out an old stash of Ike's, Kenn's, and SBA's that I put away a while back. I am going to look through these for varieties whenever I get the chance.

Some coins are just plain "interesting"

It does have some toning, pretty nice actually. I just didn't take the time to image it :0

Toned Ike, photographed with axial lighting

Some Ikes have developed nice toning.  Here's an all-natural example photographed with axial lighting.

Thinking more about Stef's coin, I see Army green, battle red and Air Force blue toning.  ; )

There are lots of kinds of photos of Ike's.  Here's one...
