This aint proof and it aint seated but I thought the album toning was fairly nice!

Here's my favorite blue-toned coin:

... and best of all, I own it !

 

It's pretty cool to own your favorite coin, isn't it?

I like them, but since I currently don't have any....I don't think I would want to jump into putting together a set.

 

Nothing like a nice original attractive album toned coin in my opinion!!!

[michael]

superlative coin banknote and rare as a gem unc too

 

james you never caese to amaze me with your posts here and your great coinage

[bigd5]

A beautiful dime Michael. Thank you for sharing the pic's.

 

If anyone DOESN'T like the blue album toned "look", I suggest they take a peak at the latest Stacks auction as the images there are nothing short of spectacular, and it's amazing at how the album toning exhibited on most of the coins repeats itself in basically the same pattern on virtually all the coins from the collection.

 

It will blow you away if you haven't taken a peak.

Blue?

 

Alright, don't hate me for this , but I simply can't help it.

 

And Michael - a superb piece. I'm not so sure that a type collection could be done of those! "Type" would be the closest I'd ever come to collecting seated material.

That dime is super!

That Large cent is amazing!

Hoot, I hate to tell you but I think your coin has a hole or is it a washer?

Hoot, I hate to tell you but I think your coin has a hole or is it a washer?

 

I was not aware!

 

Hell awaits thee.

Hoot, extremely interesting post to me -because I own a virtual twin to that coin! Actually, I've found that a lot of the copper coins from India and that area have toned to a blue color over the years. I wonder if it's related to India's climate or something....?

 

I'll have to look for that coin. It's buried somewhere in my "non-USA" stuff.....

I'd make a type set out of your collection any day, Michael! Heck, I'd even pick up the coins without charge!

 

This isn't exactly a proof Seated piece, but it would certainly confuse many people into thinking it were one. The reason these late-date Seated halves are so often encountered with strongly prooflike surfaces is because of the miniscule mintages of this era, which virtually assured that every piece minted was from a fresh or nearly fresh die pair. As an example, this 1879 Seated half dollar is a business strike coin, yet there were only 5,900 business strike half dollars minted that year. Lastly, this is not a key date coin; we could do an entire thread on what constitutes a key date coin, and this date would not make the cut.

Hey Hoot, I also have a near twin to your coin, sans the hole, of course. Mine is a 1921 five centavos from Portugal, it's about the size of a twenty cent piece and is quite pretty.

Well, my contribution to this thread may not be an example of proof seated liberty coinage, but it certainly is blue.

Oh, and to keep Hoot’s coin from India company, I thought I’d show this one.

[Hoot]

I'm feeling blue now.

[HaydenTubbs]

Sweet!!!!!!

[michael]

all superlative coinage and blue too

 

that seated half is incredible tomb

[cpm9ball]

Hoot, I hate to tell you but I think your coin has a hole or is it a washer?

 

If it's a washer, it's no good. There's a crack in it! No, I think it's the center of a locket and Hoot is looking for a photo of Caleb's nose to put into it.

 

Pretty!!!

You guys have really gone and done it, now! Do you have any idea what Whitman albums will sell for on eBay as a result?

 

Nice coins!!!!

:drool: those are some pretty coins! Can I have em?

I recently sold some beautiful blue-toned Jeffs that I had received on consignment. They were all stored in those hard PVC-type flips. the owner assured me the coins had been in those flips for 20+ years. Anyone else had that experience?
