Rey, fun coin.

 

Here's a UCAM. The image is courtesy of Bruce Lee (as are the other proofs I've posted in this thread).

I really like both the cameo and toned Franklins. Unfortunately I do not have either, just the normal run of the mill mint and proofs. But didn't want to leave out 1957, which I think was skipped. Twas a good year for me...

Tom B. wow, that is some quarter, these toned coins, which I do not have many of, are just wonderful. hail.gif

 

Irvin, thanks as well. thumbsup2.gif

 

But wait, I just did the math and this means I am a half century old this year. tonofbricks.gifforeheadslap.gif893whatthe.gif

That has the coloring of when you see a drop of gasoline in water. Very cool. thumbsup2.gif

 

That's exactly correct - Oil (or gasoline) on water is the example of the phenomenom called "thin film interference" which cause the rainbow colors you see in oil on water - same thing causes us to see colors on metal that has a thin film on the surface of the coin - I wrote an article on that and use it to explain toning in my toned coin exhibits.
