captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 2:29 pm I decided to bust free my 1959-1964 mint sets. Some of the plastic holder were getting dried out and crinkly but intact. The 1962 had the strangest toning. All three coins came from the same set. I have another dime and a Kennedy with milder reddish toning I may post later. Any idea what might have caused such a discrepancy between the two quarters? Has anyone seen toning like this?

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 2:49 pm Yes that is pretty serious toning . There had to be a slight tear or pin hole for the Quarter and Dime . This is a perfect example for E-Z-est dip .Just don't over dip and rinse with distilled water . Report this Post to the Staff

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 6:02 pm No dippy from me. I don't like toning that much but there is something I like about these. The red tones (which don't really show in the photos) is really interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 01:57 am I have run into these before in flat pack proof sets. I ended up selling them separate as problem coins for a discount. I would not dip this type of toning because the toning runs deep in the surface of the coin. You would need a long dip time to remove most of the toning, and that will disrupt the original luster. It comes when there the cellophane plastic breaks open, although I am not sure what causes the toning specifically. Maybe it is the adhesive, maybe it is the open air.

YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 03/17/2022 10:03 am The toning on these is so crazy I'd think I was looking at a cupro-nickel quarter and dime without their outer nickel layer. Neat stuff! YGP Report this Post to the Staff
