Michael,

 

I'm getting some beautiful toning on my halves in the old Raymond-Wayte album that I got from you. The 1945 D has beautiful, crescent blue and gold toning. It's a gorgeous coin. One Walker toned a nice rosette red on the obverse.

 

And, oh, you should see the reverses of a couple of cleaned AU/XF Seated Liberty and Barber halves. They have a beautiful bold GOLD toning on the fields. It turned junk coins into something of a beauty and now highly collectable.

 

Thanks!

Man, you oughta see the '41 D Walker! Lady Liberty's breasts and head and the star field of the flag have toned a subtle yet beautiful green with loads of luster. The area around the sun toned rose in a crescent shape. It sure is pretty.

 

Three or four of the Walkers have hints of awesome blue toning on the reverse. Extremely eye-appealling!

 

The 1917's obverse is nearly completely toned with gold and lavender. It has moderate eye-appeal.

 

The '45 D has the most gorgeous basics of a rainbow going. It is like viewing the refraction of light from the spray of a waterfall.

 

I may go out and buy a digital camera just to post some of them. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif I hope that I can capture the beauty of them.

 

I would estimate that a third of the halves in the album are toning with pleasant eye-appeal. Some are bland but not detrimental. The inner placed coins were not affected much.
