"Coin collectors have collected toned coins for years, but the popularity of rainbow-toned coins is a relatively recent phenomenon. This book is a carefully curated sampling of some of the finest rainbow-toned coins that have come on the market in recent years.

Glowing neon colors; ""Lucky Charms"" colors; peacock colors; pastel colors; thick, ""heavy"" colors; banded rainbow colors; crescent-shaped, double crescent-shaped and arch-shaped colors and more . . . All are gathered together here for your enjoyment. While these coins are each one-of-a-kind due to their unique toning, what they do have in common, with only a few exceptions, is that they are all either rainbow-toned or ""monster""-toned U.S. coins. These naturally toned coins are all works of art--nature's art."

A Book about Coins that is Equally Useful and Beautiful. Coin lovers, and coin collectors (numismatists) of all ages will love this colorful work. It contains more than 60 pages of photos of the most beautiful U.S. coins ever made. The coins here are called rainbow-toned coins, in bright colors, and the large, clear photos let us see the fine details on each one of these unique coins. Examples of Morgan Dollars, Eisenhower Dollars, American Silver Eagles, and more -- quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies -- are all included here. Whether you read it all in one sitting, or dip into it a few pages at a time -- there are hours of enjoyment awaiting readers of this practical and artistic hardcover book. Michael Pastore Colorful and beautiful! Dancing on Rainbows represents the very first coffee table book dedicated to showcasing the fantastic range of beautifully toned collector coins. From one cent pieces to silver dollars, you'll find a broad range of eye-popping coins depicted on the pages. The book is easy to use and boasts an eye-catching cover that invites viewers to sit back and spend quality time gazing at the photos. Those new to numismatics will be instantly shocked upon discovering that vast range of Mother Nature's paintbrush on silver coins, so prepare for an all-out assault on your senses! Of course, those already familiar with beautifully toned coins finally have the book they've awaited for decades. This book delivers. If you've never experienced the world of beautifully toned coins, then you owe it to yourself to discover Mother Nature's artistry superbly illustrated in this book. Highly recommended! Andrew W.
