    Saw this double mint set earlier in the week on ebay, and was watching it to see if the price would spike up (as a lot of older mint sets do because of the toners in them). Surprisingly, the bid showed only $149.50 with a minute to go, so I ended up (manually) sniping the auction and winning it for a little over $160 shipped. The set shows two contrasting toning patterns -- one has cobalt blue and crusty orange prevalent throughout, while the other has golden/rainbow toning. The seller said that the boards have not been removed from its green backing; so what kind of toning exists on all the coins' reverses is a mystery. I have high hopes for the franklins -- hopefully they'll be nicely toned on the side that's not shown and possibly grade FBL. Took a gamble here...hope it pays off! Will post pictures when it comes in the mail (seller's pictures below):

    Just won this blazer on the bay a few minutes ago. Can't wait to get it in hand. The luster looks amazing, especially on the reverse.

    This turned up in deal my buddy made and I was able to buy it for a "token" amount. I really dig flying eagle cents and with the small number of coins in the series, its nice to find something new to add to the collection. I don't know anything about this token. Maybe someone here does.... Anyway, I like checking in on this thread and all the cool coins you guys are buying. Thanks!

    Just finalized a deal to add this PR66BN to my MPL set. I couldn't be happier.

    Thank you Winged Liberty for pointing this out to me.

    Got the whole SBA set minus the 2 Type II Key Date proofs in a Dansco a while back. It's got several beautiful rainbow toners, this one included.

    This came in this morning's Fed Ex, same year as the other one, but a little more circulated. :)

    I ended up with 3 1991's and a 1987 as well. Got all of them close to spot, so I am thrilled. I love the toned '91

    This TrueView photo just came in last night! This coin is 1 of only 66 total MS67RB Wheatbacked Lincoln Cents graded by PCGS (with only 1 higher at MS67+RB). There are no PCGS MS68RB Wheatback's known.

    Hello WingedLiberty; Your 1969 S 1C toner is stunning! I adore toned cents and yours is par excellence! Congratulations on the new acquisition.
