The most valuable coin in my collection. Amazing mint set colors on the reverse, and the obverse is a muted, swirling, red-cocoa color. Not only are the colors rare, but very high grade. I don't think an upgrade to 66+FBL is out of reach. The grade is actually on the reverse.

A unique piece. Nothing else to say about it. A coin with blazing luster and eye-grabbing, rainbow colors. Most of the smaller scratches on the obverse are not visible, but when you lay your eyes on the coin, all you can see is the toning!

A fantastic coin. Absolutely unique. This is the kind of high-caliber toning only seen on Morgan dollars, never, never on Franklins. Despite being in a 64 holder, I think it is bound for a potential upgrade.

An awesome coin! Some thin, banana yellow rim toning that often pairs with a baby blue, but here is blended with a pink-red. It may be a bit over graded, but I paid just over book for it anyway. I snatched it off of eBay barely believing my luck.

A very nice coin I got from Dennis King. When I saw it, I thought immediately that it was out of my price range, but it wasn't. It has silky luster that shows through the uncommon and pretty toning.

This is one of my favorite pieces. A beautiful and high grade coin that I picked up on GreatCollections for a fraction of the true value. Amazing rainbow colors on the obverse and on the reverse.

An interesting little specimen. The coin is a bit dark, but the smooth greens, yellows and blues of the left obverse are riverlike. The other areas are less captivating.

A nice coin with pretty good toning. It displays a prominent Bugs, and the fingerprint on the reverse isn't too bad. This is in an OGH that does not note the variety.

A stunning coin, on the obverse smooth blue and peach hues, on the reverse, bright bag/cardboard toning. Absolutely great, flashy, luster as well. Definitely a very strong 65, and it is a mystery why this coin has no star. This coin is featured on the front page Larry Shapiro's website.

One of my first coins. It has a nice white obverse, and the reverse has fantastic end roll colors: Greens, yellows, oranges, reds. The strike is a bit weak on the reverse, and on the obverse the hits a bit distracting, so this is a 64.

Toning:
OBV: None
REV: 85
