Check Out The Toned Proof Set I Picked Up Today !

Something does look wrong. Take a look at the quarter dollar and half dollar. For some unusual reason, a side of both faces are left untoned for both of them. And why would the dime be left untoned?

Think about it - there have been some mad story of how a person was able to "crack" a slab out and made it artifically tone, only to resell it back on the market. Such plastic sheets are much easier to deal with, as long as you have the right sort of plastic and heat sealer.

For what you paid for it...who cares? If you think it's pretty...great. Just keep in mind, when reselling it, it's unlikely any dealer will pay anywhere near as much as you did for it. Most dealers will express the same doubts as everyone else here. If I were to see this as part of a lot/estate I was buying from a customer, I probably wouldn't offer much, if anything, above melt.

Nothing is truly air-tight, no matter how it is sealed. I bet that if you exposed that sealed package to the correct AT agent for a long enough period of time you could get results.

Another thing that I noticed is that it seems the plastic cover above the quarter (in the first pic) in the middle has been tampered with..like it was opened then glued back later. Try this..hold them in front of a lit light bulb...see if you notice anithing strange..like maybe places around th fishy toned coins..like darker areas I mean.
