I purchased this set of 1996 and 1997 Libertads a couple of weeks ago. Aside from being low mintages I was drawn to the hint of toning I could see in the sellers pictures. When they arrived I was pleased to find that the toning was much more pronounced in hand. It got me thinking that I don't seem to see that many Libertads with toning. I would like to see more if you have them. My pictures don't really do these justice. They are taped on the rear so the reverses are blast white. I will be taking them out this weekend.
Wood has a toning effect, especially if not lacquered or sealed inside the case. I am a little surprised by the blast white reverses, so the paper must be non-acidic. Nice effect Jim
