The jury has made it's decision.

First, I'd like to thank the members who were nice enough to serve as jurors in my trial over the toning Eagle chicks.

After all the evidence was presented and documented, I have decided to pass down sentence upon these wonderful slabbed coins.

They are destined to serve the rest of their time in my collection. They will, however, lose their place in the Registry.

I have acquired another pair to replace them, but only to maintain the pristine look of the fresher coins.

I also have broken the set by adding these 2 70's. All my Commemorative halves were to be MS and PF 69.

To those that liked the idea of them toning, I am not going to store them in Intercept Sheild Boxes as all the others. Hopefully they will mature to a fully toned beauty which may become even more desireable.

As long as they are both "perfect", I have no doubts about this investment. I may even learn more about toning.

Thanks again to all who input their opinions.

You can still see the departing pair in my Commemorative Half Dollars until the newbies show up.
