Recently acquired proof sets had some color in them. :)

Feel free to grade or comment away. I like them.

They are not CAM or DCAM so these are not fantasy photos

and they actually look like this in hand.

Nice coins. I particularly like the 1960 Franklin.

I find them to be attractive. It's one of those unusual situations where the toning turned out to be attractive, not just dull brown or black.

[Raisethis2]

Definitely keepers.

Nice coins, the dime and the half are the winners for me. Were the coins loose in the cello? I usually see them turn this way when the cent comes in contact with the silver coins.

Thanks guys. These were stored in Capital Plastic Holders for a couple of decades.

Ah yes I should have seen that right of the bat. That is classic capitol holder toning. For some reason I thought you stated they were in original packaging. Not sure why I thought that. I reread and it must have been an assumption on my part.

[Lucky One]

nice coins, always love original toning!

[cpm9ball]

Very nice! I'm in the Franky camp, too!

Thanks guys. I really like the 1960 Franklin but in hand I think the dimes beat it.

I feel lucky to have found these things.

The Franklin reminds me of thinly-applied spray paint.

so do i and the quarter is right after that for me.

If I bought every set I found with coins that toned this way in these holders... I'd be more broke than I am now!!

You mean "bought and kept" maybe? Because if you would have bought each set with nice toning and flipped them for a profit, maybe only keeping the nicest examples for yourself.....then you would be RICHER than you are now.

True that Keyman, but I like most of us here, I'm more of a hoarder!
