How did the obverse side of the penny turn out.
Were you able to get rid of the blue?

Took this with the phone, post bath and cleanup. Still steely bluish. Less crud.  Edited by SilverDon

That's a nice cent, definitely a survivor compared to others left in the case that long and oh the eye appeal of that blue! If it was worth more I would send her out for conservation.
Feel free to call me Will.

I like the blue toning on that cent dollarman, as well I like the toning on the silver dollar.
The rims are square, the 50 Cent coin in Specimen is nice. The leather case has a smell to it.
The specimen quarter is what I was after originally, having fun with this set that's for sure.

Yes you definitely lucked out on the condition of those obverses. Here's hoping you're not picking out red bits in all of your laundry for the next week!

Thanks universalcoins, I got lucky on those toned
beauties and the obverses of the nickel coins were unscathed. The
defloculation process is best done outside on a windy day, hold the
liner out as far away from your body as possible and vigorously brush
down wind. I saw a patch of red on the deck this morning. Darn
stuff. I can safely say I am rid of the fluff from that set, and
rewarded with some toned specimen coins.

Here are some pictures of the obverses, the penny and the set. The silver dollar cleaned up nicely. The nickel dollar shows some tarnish.     Edited by SilverDon

Silver Don is the C A and D of Canada doubled on your dollar?

Hello michaellisa and welcome.  Good eye, Machine Doubling common on these dollars from the late 60's to early '70's. I see doubling on the legend and the horse and Mountie. Check out some macro shots. See hat, chin, glove, arm, horse's mouth, ear.    Edited by SilverDon

Can you imagine the tears "if" that had been the large date quarter stuck to that nasty red stuff.. I also got lucky with my set. I had placed a touch of clear plastic around the cent decades ago before anyone knew about the nasty red off-gassing affect..   |

Awesome,DEVLEC, I saw a set on sale at CA
and was tempted but decided not to bite as I could not see
whether there was any toning on the 25 Cents. Great idea
on the protection of the penny. Nice set, great LB
Specimen Quarter. When I saw how close the beads were to
the rim, I knew.

There is so much to learn in this hobby.
I am sure I have seen these 71 - 74 set in the past. I either passed on them
or pulled out the silver coins. Never knowing about checking for varieties.
Thanks again for posting information like we have here.
