Nice toned copper coins Devlec you have a good set started by the looks of the picture's.
I like the different toned cents I started a set of lower mint state coins years ago as well the 40's seem to be the best years for them the nicest toned I've found with the orange green blue purple tone. It's hard to capture the true beauty of toned coins in picture's or scans but in hand they are sharp and you see the real beauty in them although they are not red.

It's a shame that ICCS doesn't grade brown cents as ms65 because you have a mitful there.

Thanks for that doubleeagle59...I just thought that they had very nice colours and they were all in older little 1.5" x 1.5" holders. They look as if they hadn't been touched in decades. I couldn't resist and bought the whole group as 'one lot' 2 weeks ago.. They just looked so very nice and probably were put together many years ago by a dedicated small cent collector.... |

I agree 100 % ...and thanks for that explanation papeldog.. Always nice to hear what the experts here have to say.. In the past 35 years I've never collected this series ..so this is it.. I have a very few odd nice ones but never this series.. They really belong together.. |

It's hard to capture the true beauty of toned coins in pictures Try photographing them using reflected light, instead of direct light... 1942 to 1946 are often found in wonderful condition, toned.
