So then I assume environment surrounding the Capital holder is what made them tone the color they are instead of say, rainbow toned.

@GoldenChest
Fortunately when I was a kid, it took time, but was not impossible to assemble a set of these by roll searching. This was the late 60s/early 70s when silver was 2.80 or so per dollar - and people were able to keep a lot more of their own money. So it seemed it was only people looking for collections that were doing much roll searching.

It was fun opening a roll and not only getting a couple silvers in them, but also getting quite a few 40% JFKs also.

All the pieces in that holder were from circulation!

Great looking set Elmer. You have some real nice ones there. I always thought Capital plastic was inert.

As a rule, I'm not a fan of toned coins.
But your set breaks my rule - those are wicked nice War Nicks!

Great set and good photography on them too. I don't believe I see any 6FS nickels, but I think I see some 5FS.

I don't think the capital holder toned these coins like this. I would have been the environment.

Correct. That, and reaction with anything that may have been already on the coins.

I believe that they are. I only have one, but the coins in it look as they did when they were put in.

Storage location is always the biggest factor. Even a slab will leak.
