The textile toner is quite attractive and always it seems, commands a premium. Post some pics when you receive it.

That I will do... it should arrive this week.

Bid the sky Sunday night and came up with a strong textile toned Morgan, my first real nice one - bidding was fierce. Thanks Shane! Shane gets credit for the nice image...

Love your Peace Dollar.

Thats a nice peace dollar.

Thanks guys, I was quite pleased when I opened the package - this one goes in the box of 20.

Just got it in the mail today...

mikesartifacts - since 2003

It's been 3 years since my last post, been busy at work... never stopped collecting. I like colorfully toned anything, especially modern issues. These I have acquired raw over the last 18 months. Just got them back from PCGS and NGC (graded Dec 2010). 25 of 60 toned coins have come back, and here are some of the better ones. I will post more as they come in.

The 57-D Jeff 5c is the very first and only star given by NGC for this date/mm.

The 60-P Jeff 5c is NGC pop 7 - none higher, PCGS 31 in 66, none higher.

The 64 Kennedy MS67 is pop 30 with one finer.

Just back from grading...

PCGS AU58 1966 Kennedy

PCGS MS65 1957 Washington

PCGS MS66 1952-S Washington

Nice color and great photography on that 1964D

Thanks. Not to hijack, but these 2 and 8 other modern coins that came back from NGC will be listed in my store at no reserve beginning tomorrow night. I will post an announcement in the appropriate thread at that time. Mike

2 sequentially numbered Kennedy's came back from NGC last week...

Thats a nice looking cent and a nice photo as well.

Thanks. In my short time on this forum I have noticed many capable photographers here, and you are certainly among them. BTW, the coin came back as MS64 RB, though the reverse is full red. Here is another shot, this one is straight out of the camera...

Actually acquired about a 2 months ago raw, but it came back from NGC yesterday. One of a few that will be marketed this week on ebay. Mike

It took me awhile to find you guys, but I did. Most likely the first of many posts.

 

 

My avatar was chosen carefully from hundreds of toned coins that I have owned/still own, as it was one of my favorites. I do believe it belongs to one of the distinguished board members here. I miss that one...
