First off, I love 'Cigar Boxes' and the gradual toning they sometimes impart onto the raw coins I keep in them...Here are a couple of nice looking 1957s. What are your thoughts?

Take Care

Cedar? might be... Sounds like wood when I thump it, The box is an older M&O one, but the paper covers the hard portions, sides lid & bottom.

Great looking Franklin's. I must say it's the first time I heard the term "Cigar box Franklin's". I assume it is a toning method. Looks like it works very well. Mike

Very nice, I especially like the toning of the top 1957 like the way the eyes look and the eagle looks outstanding even got some bell lines there nice toning.

Nice Frankies, Bonedigger!
The toning adds a uniqueness to them that I really like.
