Those are all great. Did you have to pay much of a premium for them?

How are coins toned like that? Is that natural? Beautiful coins!

Thanks all! It's a work in progress. I was originally going for a toned set of them, but got carried away and started buying any nicely toned dimes. Quote: How are coins toned like that? Is that natural? A lot of these are mint set toners and end of roll toners. The silver reacts to the materials and environment they are in and each coin tones uniquely depending on the conditions where it's stored. These are all 100% natural and most of them are graded MS66.

Quote: Did you have to pay much of a premium for them? I refuse to pay premiums for toned coins. Most of these were in the $15 to $30 range. Most are MS66 and MS67.

Quote: How are coins toned like that? Is that natural? The Mint Sets from the 1950s used a cardboard holder that was renowned for creating colorful coinage.

The reverse reminds me of a cracked, dried up lake shore. Beautiful!
