Some coins from a 1956 Mint Set.

[SkyMan]

Here are some coins from a 1956 mint set that I got several years ago. A couple of years ago I took the nice coins out of the set and put them into plastic flips so that they were no longer in contact with the toning source. One thing that has totally frustrated me lately is that now I can't find the other Franklin, which has the blue toning (on the obverse) of the P mint Roosie and Washie, and IMO would grade MS65. I'm hoping that at some point in time I'll get a pleasant surprise and find it. In any case, I'm quite happy with the coins in this set and have kept them all raw. The images were by Shane Canup and I think he did an excellent job. Also, aesthetics are obviously different for different people, do you find the looks of the D Washie appealing or not? I like it.

I think the toning on all is quite nice and the 1956-D looks very eye appealing and unique to my eyes (thumbs u
